Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Team News

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, 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 from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted that this match might affect their respective fortunes during the league continues.
Ones to watch feature Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
