Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Game on!

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well recently.
