Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Preamble
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
