Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Updates
Introduction
Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations after the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
