Manchester United v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed this encounter might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.
Star performers feature Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song lately.
