Introduction

Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven encounters between the clubs.

Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch following victory at home versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.

Pre-Match Patter

The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.

It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their campaigns as the Premier League continues.

Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
