Match Preview

The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.

Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Squad Updates

United decided on a couple of alterations following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.

Brighton have made one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Build-Up

The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations from the German coach.

Various reports suggest this encounter might affect for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.

Star performers are the captain in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well recently.
