Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Updates
Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, winning six from seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.
Brighton have made a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
