Selection Changes

Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.

Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes this campaign.

The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
