Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes in a row in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
