Man Utd v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage

Match Preview

Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton have made one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons in the top flight continues.
