Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes straight tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro steps in at the back.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
