Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Preamble
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories straight in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
Start time is 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Game on!

Selection Changes
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their respective fortunes as the Premier League unfolds.
Star performers are Fernandes in red plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
