Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two changes after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes from the German coach.
