Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, folks. It’s on!

Team News
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted the fixture may influence their respective fortunes during the league unfolds.
Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
