Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Match Report

Introduction

Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, with victories during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Squad Updates

United decided on two changes after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.

Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.

Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
