Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes straight tonight. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Team News
Manchester United make two changes after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely discussed the fixture may influence for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Key players to watch feature Bruno Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both on song recently.
