Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now 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. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.
It is widely discussed the fixture might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include the captain for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both in fine form recently.
