Introduction

Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Only problem is, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven encounters head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable like United, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

Man Utd: Lammens, Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes leading, Dalot, Mbeumo attacking, Cunha, Sesko completes the XI.

Selection Changes

United decided on two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro replaces him in defense.

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Amorim is unfazed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

It is widely discussed that this match could have implications their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.

Ones to watch are Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck for the visitors, both on song in recent weeks.
