Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes for the first time this season.
Brighton have made one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford in fine form of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
