Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch feature Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well recently.
