Squad Updates

Man Utd have made two changes in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.

Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.

Build-Up

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

It is widely discussed the fixture might affect their respective fortunes during the league campaign progresses.

Key players to watch are Bruno Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well lately.
