Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories straight tonight. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. That said, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two adjustments following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their campaigns as the Premier League unfolds.
Key players to watch include Fernandes in red plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form lately.
