Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, comes back to Manchester with great momentum with four recent goals, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
Pre-Match Patter
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Various reports suggest that this match might affect their respective fortunes in the top flight continues.
Star performers feature Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck for the visitors, both in fine form recently.
