Manchester United versus Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories straight this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Game on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
