Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates

Match Preview

The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!

However, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two adjustments following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Yoro replaces him in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.

Various reports suggest that this match could have implications their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.

Ones to watch feature the captain in red plus Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
