Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Preamble
Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations following their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, an improvement on in his previous 15.
