Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins straight this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Game on!

Team News
Manchester United make two adjustments after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Star performers feature the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
