Man Utd against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Game on!

Team News
United decided on two changes following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, both on song recently.
