Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage

Preamble

Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!

Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.

Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

The match begins at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

Team News

United decided on two adjustments after their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations from the German coach.

It is widely discussed this encounter may influence their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Key players to watch feature Fernandes in red plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form recently.
