Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
