Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories in a row in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture might affect their campaigns in the top flight continues.
Star performers include the captain in red and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well lately.
