Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight tonight. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
