Man Utd, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. The wind’s behind them under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
However, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven fixtures between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!

United decided on a couple of alterations in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in at the back.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, ex-United player champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league campaign progresses.
Key players to watch feature the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form in recent weeks.
