Manchester United v Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes straight tonight. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two changes after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim 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, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
