Introduction

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two adjustments following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in at the back.

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

The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
