Manchester United versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton have made one change following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Fernandes for United plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
