Squad Updates

United decided on two changes after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out at all, Leny Yoro taking his place at the back.

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad this campaign.

Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.

Leading Stories

Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes from the German coach.

Various reports suggest the fixture might affect for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Key players to watch are the captain in red and Danny Welbeck from the away side, both on song recently.
