Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report

Introduction

Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes straight tonight. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.

Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, kids. It’s on!

Selection Changes

United decided on two changes after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted the fixture might affect their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.

Star performers feature Bruno Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song lately.
