Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates

Introduction

The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.

Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. It’s on!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made one change following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their respective fortunes as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Star performers feature Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well in recent weeks.
