Manchester United v Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Preamble
Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories in a row in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Let’s go!

Team News
Manchester United make two adjustments after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons in the top flight continues.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well recently.
