Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make a single switch post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player champions in in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes from the German coach.
Various reports suggest the fixture might affect their respective fortunes during the league unfolds.
Star performers include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, each performing well lately.
