Match Preview

Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Forget the momentum; Brighton have found relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

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

The Teams

Man Utd: Lammens, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw at the back, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko completes the XI.

Selection Changes

Manchester United make two changes in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him at the back.

An issue arose during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.

Analysts have noted that this match could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league unfolds.

Star performers feature Bruno Fernandes in red and Danny Welbeck for the visitors, both on song lately.
