Team News
United decided on two adjustments in the wake of their 2-1 win against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire misses out at all, Yoro replaces him at the back.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for one change after their 2-1 home win over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title in 2012-13, visits his old club on a hot streak of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.
