Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins straight in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their respective fortunes in the top flight continues.
Ones to watch are the captain for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
