Preamble

Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.

The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Game on!

Selection Changes

Manchester United make a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made one change post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league continues.

Star performers feature the captain from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well recently.
