Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Match Report
Preamble
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories straight this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. That said, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture might affect their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
