Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Updates

Introduction

Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

However, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.

Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Squad Updates

United decided on two changes in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.

Ones to watch feature Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form in recent weeks.
