Preamble

The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

Only problem is, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.

Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Squad Updates

United decided on two changes following their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in at the back.

He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
