Preamble

Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

However, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Man Utd: Lammens in goal, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw at the back, Diallo, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko completes the XI.

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, formerly of United champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.

Analysts have noted that this match may influence their campaigns during the league continues.

Star performers are Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well in recent weeks.
