The Red Devils, after defeating Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim now more than ever!

Team News
United decided on a couple of alterations following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United that lifted the title during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
