Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United 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 over his last 15 matches.
