Manchester United versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, folks. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League unfolds.
Star performers include Bruno Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form lately.
