Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage

Match Preview

Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make a couple of alterations after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro steps in at the back.

An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

It is widely discussed this encounter might affect their campaigns during the league unfolds.

Key players to watch feature the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song recently.
