Manchester United versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Yet, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

Team News
United decided on two changes after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
An issue arose this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
