Man Utd against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven fixtures head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, kids. Game on!

Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out completely, Yoro steps in in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter may influence their respective fortunes in the top flight continues.
Star performers are the captain in red and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song recently.
