Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Preamble
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their respective fortunes in the top flight campaign progresses.
Star performers include Bruno Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both in fine form recently.
