Manchester United versus Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.
The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes following the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence their campaigns in the top flight continues.
Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
