Preamble

Manchester United, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting three Premier League wins on the bounce tonight. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

However, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly thrilling to watch.

The match begins at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Game on!

An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Welbeck, formerly of United champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on in his previous 15.
