Preamble

Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.

Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Squad Updates

Manchester United make two adjustments following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defence.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.

Leading Stories

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations from the German coach.

It is widely discussed that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League unfolds.

Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song recently.
