Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories straight this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Ones to watch include the captain for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
