Team News

United decided on a couple of alterations in the wake of their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes for the first time this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.

Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
