Match Preview

The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories straight this evening. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!

Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates

Man Utd have made a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Leading Stories

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans from the German coach.

It is widely discussed this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.

Ones to watch include the captain in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
