Manchester United versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
