Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!

Team News
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out completely, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.
Key players to watch are Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
