Manchester United v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Preamble
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Start time is 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates
United decided on two adjustments following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their respective fortunes during the league continues.
Star performers are Bruno Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well lately.
