Man Utd v Brighton – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes straight in this match. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
However, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. That said, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments after the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest the fixture could have implications their respective fortunes during the league unfolds.
Star performers are the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both in fine form lately.
