Match Preview

Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins in a row this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.

Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Game on!

Squad Updates

Manchester United make two adjustments after the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.

Analysts have noted this encounter may influence their campaigns during the league unfolds.

Star performers include Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
