Match Preview
Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three Premier League wins in a row tonight. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed the fixture might affect their respective fortunes during the league unfolds.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well recently.
