Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes straight this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes following the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch feature Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward from the away side, each performing well recently.
