Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim 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 fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Key players to watch are the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
