Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Updates
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest that this match could have implications their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well lately.
