Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence their campaigns as the Premier League continues.
Star performers are Bruno Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both on song lately.
