Alan Shearer isn’t convinced Manchester United will be able to beat Brighton and Hove Albion in today’s early Premier League kick-off.

He, instead, has tipped the two teams to play out a score draw at the Amex Stadium.

“Brighton had the outstanding result of the weekend, going to Everton with the new and youngest manager in the league and they were sensational,” Shearer told Betfair.

“Danny Welbeck up front, Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, who I know had to go off at half-time, but Simon Adingra came on who was superb as well. What a great result for  Brighton, going away and winning by three goals.  

“It will be a very tough game for Manchester United. They got a result as well, of course, albeit they did not play that well, but they got the right result, which is the important thing at this stage of the season.

“It’s a tough one for Manchester United, to visit a team who won by three goals on the road last weekend. It’s a tough game to predict but I think it will be a score draw.”
