Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Game on!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed this encounter might affect their respective fortunes in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include Fernandes for United plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well recently.
