Manchester United versus Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage

Match Preview

Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

Only problem is, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two adjustments following last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes in 2025-26.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

Various reports suggest that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.

Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both on song lately.
