Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent like United, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed about the views of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.
Star performers include the captain for United plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form recently.
