Introduction

The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Only problem is, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven fixtures in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. That said, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable as their hosts, making this match intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go!

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

The manager pays little heed about the views of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.

Various reports suggest this encounter might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.

Star performers are Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well recently.
