Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing GĂłmez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Star performers include Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well recently.
