Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge currently!
Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!
Man Utd: Lammens in goal, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes leading, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko.

United decided on a couple of alterations after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.
Various reports suggest the fixture could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
