Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes straight in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song lately.
