Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent like United, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form recently.
