Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes in a row this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!

Team News
United decided on two changes after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
