Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Match Report

Match Preview

The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.

Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.

Selection Changes

United decided on two changes in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

It is widely discussed the fixture could have implications for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.

Ones to watch are the captain in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song lately.
