Introduction

Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

However, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

The match begins 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

Man Utd have made two changes after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Leading Stories

Amorim is unfazed about the views of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest that this match may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.

Star performers feature Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
