Manchester United against Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Only problem is, Brighton come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. It’s on!

Selection Changes
United decided on a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
