Man Utd against Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes straight this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, Brighton come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Selection Changes
United decided on two adjustments following last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton have made one alteration after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes in red plus Welbeck in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
