Match Preview

Man Utd, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes in a row in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!

Yet, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.

Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. That said, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

Start time is 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!

Starting XIs

Manchester United: Lammens in goal, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw at the back, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes leading, Dalot, Mbeumo attacking, Cunha up front, Sesko completes the XI.
Substitutes: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Heaven, Mainoo.

Selection Changes

United decided on two adjustments following the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench for the first time this season.

The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.

Pre-Match Patter

The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful regarding the plans from the German coach.

Analysts have noted the fixture could have implications their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.

Ones to watch include the captain in red and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
