Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Start time is 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
