Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.
Star performers are Bruno Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song recently.
