Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.
Star performers are Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well lately.
