Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Preamble
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. Game on!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United champions in in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.
Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
