Introduction

Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce tonight. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Never mind the wind behind; for the Seagulls very comfortable. That said, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, kids. Let’s go!

Team News

Manchester United make two adjustments following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.

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

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Pre-Match Patter

The manager pays little heed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.

Analysts have noted that this match may influence their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.

Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
