Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
