Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures head-to-head.

Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain consistently inconsistent like United, making this match competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.

An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.

Brighton have made a single switch following victory at home against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club with great momentum with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.

Pre-Match Patter

Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans of Thomas Tuchel.

Various reports suggest the fixture could have implications their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.

Ones to watch are the captain from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both in fine form in recent weeks.
