Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight continues.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song in recent weeks.
