Manchester United, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories straight this evening. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially thrilling to watch.
Kick-off is at 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!

United decided on a couple of alterations following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in at the back.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted that this match may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.
Star performers are Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
