Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes in a row this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven encounters head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Let’s go!

United decided on two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
