Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes from the German coach.
Analysts have noted that this match might affect their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well recently.
