Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest that this match may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.
Star performers are Fernandes for United plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
