Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Preamble
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly thrilling to watch.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, formerly of United that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
