Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture might affect their campaigns during the league unfolds.
Key players to watch feature Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song in recent weeks.
