Match Preview

Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven fixtures between the clubs.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Lineups

Man Utd: Lammens in goal, Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw at the back, Diallo, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes leading, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko completes the XI.
Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Heaven, Mainoo.

Brighton: Verbruggen, Wieffer in defense, van Hecke starting, Dunk captain, Kadioglu, Baleba in midfield, Ayari playing, Minteh on the wing, Rutter, De Cuyper included, Welbeck.
Reserves: Steele, Tzimas, Watson, Kostoulas, Milner, Boscagli, Gomez, Coppola, Oriola.

Selection Changes

United decided on two changes after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench this campaign.

Brighton have made one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.

The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.

Leading Stories

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of the Reds’ manager … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Star performers are Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both on song recently.
