Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for a trio of victories straight tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, making this match both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two changes following their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.
