Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Manchester United, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter could have implications their campaigns as the Premier League unfolds.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
