Match Preview

The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories on the bounce in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim currently!

Yet, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.

Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent as their hosts, making this match both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. Let’s go!

Manchester United: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw, Diallo included, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko.

Selection Changes

United decided on two changes in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.

It is widely discussed that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.

Star performers feature Bruno Fernandes in red plus Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well lately.
