Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage

Introduction

Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories straight this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

However, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

Squad Updates

Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.

Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.

Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.

Key players to watch include the captain from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song recently.
