Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes in a row tonight. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
