Brighton need one more miracle, Welbeck chasing history on final day
Brighton must beat a Manchester United side with nothing to play for to snag European football. Welbeck's 13 goals could be crucial in the title race for English top scorer.
Brighton's shot at European football comes down to Sunday. After that loss to Leeds last week tanked their chances, they're now facing Manchester United with everything on the line. Second European qualification in club history? Yeah, it's right there for the taking if they can pull it off.
Here's the thing though — United couldn't care less. They've got nothing left to prove this season, and honestly, they've been absolutely brutal at the Amex. Three losses in their last four visits. A 4-0 hammering in 2022. The stats are screaming Brighton's way.
Danny Welbeck's the name everyone's watching. The guy's had his best season in a Brighton shirt with 13 league goals, and playing against his old club? That tends to bring out something extra. He's also got a genuine shot at the English top scorer award if he nets on Sunday. Ollie Watkins is sitting on 14 right now, so it's tight.
Beyond the Amex, there's chaos everywhere. Arsenal's heading south after that defeat, and they've got Crystal Palace waiting on the final day. London's got its eyes on West Ham too. Burnley against Wolves, Fulham hosting Newcastle, Liverpool taking on Brentford — there's relegation scraps, European spots up for grabs, and the usual Sunday madness.
All games kick off at 4pm BST. That's when we find out who's celebrating and who's packing it in for summer.
