Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven encounters in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, folks. Game on!

Team News
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one change post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak of four goals in three games, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their respective fortunes during the league continues.
Key players to watch are Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
