Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes straight in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 5.30pm BST one last mention because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
