Manchester United v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Preamble
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. That said, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
United decided on two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
