Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates
Preamble
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight this evening. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven fixtures between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
Start time is 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. It’s on!

Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations after the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Star performers feature Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form recently.
