Match Preview

The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

However, 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.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make two changes following their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Leading Stories

The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.

It is widely discussed that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons in the top flight unfolds.

Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song recently.
