Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro steps in at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.
Key players to watch feature Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form recently.
