Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!

Man Utd have made a couple of alterations following their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
