Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, kids. It’s on!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two adjustments after the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted the fixture could have implications their campaigns during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song recently.
