Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Introduction
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two adjustments after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of GĂłmez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak with four recent goals, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
