Match Preview

Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters between the clubs.

Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. It’s on!

Squad Updates

United decided on two changes in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Pre-Match Patter

Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes from the German coach.

It is widely discussed this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.

Key players to watch feature Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form recently.
