Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates

Introduction

The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. It’s on!

Team News

United decided on two changes following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out completely, Yoro steps in at the back.

An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons in the top flight continues.

Star performers are Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
