Manchester United against Brighton – Premier League Updates

Match Preview

Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

The match begins at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. It’s on!

Squad Updates

Manchester United make two adjustments after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

The striker, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
