Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Team News
Manchester United make two adjustments following last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations from the German coach.
Various reports suggest that this match may influence their campaigns during the league continues.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes in red plus Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
