Match Preview
Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, visits his old club with great momentum with four recent goals, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
Leading Stories
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.

Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
