Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins straight this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed about the views of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed this encounter might affect their campaigns as the Premier League continues.
Star performers feature Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
