Manchester United against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed about the views of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their respective fortunes as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
