Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Introduction
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
Man Utd have made two adjustments after the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him in defense.
An issue arose 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, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
