Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

An issue arose in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter could have implications their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.
Star performers are the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both on song lately.
