Manchester United versus Brighton – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted that this match might affect their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.
Star performers feature Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well recently.
