Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro replaces him in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum 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 … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence for both teams’ seasons during the league unfolds.
Key players to watch are the captain for United and the Brighton forward from the away side, each performing well recently.
