Selection Changes
Man Utd have made a couple of alterations after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Šeško starts for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
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, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest this encounter could have implications their campaigns during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song lately.
