Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Updates

Introduction

Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic like United, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Squad Updates

Manchester United make two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defence.

Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.

Brighton have made a single switch post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, formerly of United that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Leading Stories
