Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Manchester United, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, so this game is both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in in defence.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against 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 to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
