Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Team News
Man Utd have made two adjustments following last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton have made one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include the captain from the hosts and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form recently.
