By Martyn Herman LONDON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Manchester United's nightmare winless run reached nine games when they lost 2-0 at Chelsea and Manchester City also suffered a harrowing Halloween as the Premier League leaders went down 1-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

The storm may have abated a little as the outcome of their appeal is awaited, but the guilty verdict and possible demotion hanging over Manchester City for financial misconduct continues to be felt. There was even some gallows humour on display from City supporters in the 1-0 home loss to Brighton as they took the chance to poke fun at their travails of their fiercest rivals.
