Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.
The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Manchester United: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw, Diallo included, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro steps in in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one change following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their campaigns as the Premier League continues.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
