Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed 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. Having said all that, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, making this match both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.
Key players to watch include Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form lately.
