Introduction

Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it a trio of victories straight in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. That said, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Kick-off is at 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!

United: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw at the back, Diallo, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes leading, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo attacking, Cunha, Sesko.

Selection Changes

United decided on two adjustments following the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Pre-Match Patter

The manager pays little heed about the views of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations from the German coach.

Various reports suggest this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Key players to watch feature Fernandes in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
