Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in at the back.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest that this match could have implications their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch are Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
