Manchester United versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Preamble
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Let’s go!

Manchester United: Lammens in goal, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw at the back, Diallo included, Casemiro, Fernandes leading, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their campaigns during the league continues.
Key players to watch include the captain from the hosts plus Welbeck in blue and white, both on song lately.
