Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Team News
Man Utd have made two adjustments following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their respective fortunes during the league continues.
Key players to watch are Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well recently.
