Man Utd against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage

Preamble

Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories straight this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

Yet, Brighton are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Team News

Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.

Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations from the German coach.

It is widely discussed this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.

Key players to watch include Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
