Team News
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in at the back.
An issue arose during training this week. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
