The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three consecutive successes straight tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, Brighton come from the south coast, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!

Manchester United make a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans from the German coach.
Various reports suggest the fixture may influence their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.
Ones to watch are Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
