Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes straight in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Let’s go!

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight continues.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes in red plus Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well recently.
