Man Utd versus Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two changes in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro replaces him in defense.
An issue arose this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench in 2025-26.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford in fine form with four recent goals, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted this encounter could have implications their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both in fine form lately.
