Introduction

Manchester United, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories in a row tonight. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!

Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters between the clubs.

Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic as their hosts, making this match competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Game on!

Starting XIs

United: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha up front, Sesko.
Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Heaven, Mainoo.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Verbruggen, Wieffer, van Hecke starting, Dunk captain, Kadioglu, Baleba, Ayari, Minteh on the wing, Rutter attacking, De Cuyper, Welbeck.
Substitutes: Steele, Tzimas, Watson, Kostoulas, Milner, Boscagli, Gomez, Coppola, Oriola.

Official: Taylor (from Cheshire).
Video Assistant Referee: Michael Oliver (from Northumberland).

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.

Leading Stories

Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

It is widely discussed the fixture could have implications their respective fortunes as the Premier League continues.

Ones to watch are Fernandes in red plus Welbeck for the visitors, both on song recently.
