Manchester United v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes in a row tonight. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
