Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Updates

Preamble

Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes in a row this evening. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!

Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Game on!

Squad Updates

United decided on a couple of alterations after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.

Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

Danny Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted that this match could have implications their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.

Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
