If Manchester United do end up finishing outside the top four this season their away form is going to have a lot to answer for.
Thursday night's 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium marked a missed opportunity for United to consolidate their position in the Champions League spots.
A victory would have seen them leapfrog Newcastle United in the standings, climb up to third and open up a seven-point gap on fifth-placed Liverpool.
Instead, Alexis Mac Allister's late penalty means that United could now kick-off against West Ham United at 7pm on Sunday evening just a point ahead of Liverpool.
