Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes in a row tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
Start time is 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes in 2025-26.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted that this match might affect their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes for United plus Welbeck from the away side, both on song in recent weeks.
