Man Utd against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league unfolds.
Ones to watch include the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well recently.
