Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two changes following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.
Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their campaigns during the league continues.
Star performers are the captain in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
