Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes straight this evening. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters between the clubs.

Squad Updates
United decided on two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Star performers feature Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song recently.
