Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage

Preamble

Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!

However, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven encounters head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro replaces him in defense.

An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Ones to watch include Fernandes in red plus Welbeck from the away side, both on song lately.
