Match Preview

Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row tonight. They have momentum with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!

However, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.

Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.

The match begins at 17:30 BST one last mention with daylight saving ending, folks. Let’s go!

Lineups

Man Utd: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes leading, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.
Reserves: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Heaven, Mainoo.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Verbruggen between the posts, Wieffer in defense, van Hecke starting, Dunk, Kadioglu featured, Baleba in midfield, Ayari playing, Minteh on the wing, Rutter, De Cuyper, Welbeck leading the line.
Subs: Steele, Tzimas, Watson, Kostoulas, Milner, Boscagli, Gomez, Coppola, Oriola.

Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire).
VAR: Michael Oliver (from Northumberland).

Selection Changes

United decided on two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out entirely, Yoro steps in in defence.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad for the first time this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.

Build-Up

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

Analysts have noted this encounter might affect their campaigns as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Ones to watch feature the captain in red and the Brighton forward from the away side, both on song in recent weeks.
