Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row in this match. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, Brighton come from the south coast, with victories on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, so this game is both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two changes after the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons in the top flight continues.
Star performers include Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well recently.
