Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins straight in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes from the German coach.
It is widely discussed this encounter may influence their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form lately.
