Manchester United against Brighton – Premier League Match Report

Match Preview

Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates

United decided on two changes following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him at the back.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.

Leading Stories

Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
