Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven encounters between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their respective fortunes in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form recently.
