Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report

Preamble

The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven fixtures in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

Team News

Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum with four recent goals, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
