Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories straight in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league unfolds.
Ones to watch are Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
