Manchester United make a couple of alterations after last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire misses out at all, Yoro steps in in defense.

He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.

The Seagulls opted for a single switch following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, on the bench.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
