Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories straight 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, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, kids. It’s on!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Ones to watch are the captain in red plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well recently.
