Preamble

Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce in this match. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!

Yet, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven encounters between the clubs.

Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Start time is 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while with daylight saving ending, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes

United decided on two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.

Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.

Leading Stories

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations of Thomas Tuchel.

Various reports suggest the fixture may influence their campaigns in the top flight campaign progresses.

Key players to watch include Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck from the away side, each performing well in recent weeks.
