Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce this evening. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven League meetings between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro steps in in defense.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans from the German coach.
Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their campaigns as the Premier League unfolds.
Ones to watch are Fernandes in red plus Welbeck in blue and white, both in fine form in recent weeks.
