Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

United: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw at the back, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko completes the XI.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two adjustments following the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed this encounter might affect their respective fortunes during the league continues.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
