Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight this evening. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two adjustments after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak of four goals in three games, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their campaigns during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
