Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion make one alteration following victory at home over Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Danny Welbeck, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … yet Welbeck is mindful with the thought processes of Thomas Tuchel.
Analysts have noted this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.
Ones to watch are Fernandes from the hosts and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well lately.
