Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating 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!
Only problem is, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
