Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage

Match Preview

The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!

Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.

Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.

An issue arose this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.

Pre-Match Patter

Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest this encounter might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league unfolds.

Star performers are Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song lately.
