Manchester United v Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage

Match Preview

Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!

Only problem is, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven encounters in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, making this match intriguing and possibly thrilling to watch.

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest that this match may influence their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Ones to watch are Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
