Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent like United, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
Various reports suggest that this match may influence for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes in red plus Welbeck for the visitors, both on song in recent weeks.
