Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes following their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed about the views of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest the fixture could have implications their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Star performers include the captain in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
