Selection Changes
United decided on two adjustments after their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, who drops to the bench, and the match-winner Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, swapping in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations from the German coach.
Various reports suggest that this match may influence for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.
Ones to watch include the captain for United plus Welbeck in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
