Brighton v Man Utd team news: Rangnick names unchanged XI

541 Comments
Share

One of the Gameweek 36 matches with the least riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective takes place this evening.

Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United, two of the eight teams with a ‘single’ Gameweek, meet at the Amex in a 17:30 BST kick-off.

In fact, among the top 10,000 FPL managers, there is a combined ‘effective ownership’ figure of just 2.18% in this fixture.

The team news is nice and simple as there is only one change between the two sides, both of whom won 3-0 in Gameweek 35 – and it’s an enforced one at that.

That alteration has been made by Graham Potter, who has recalled Pascal Gross to replace the injured Enock Mwepu.

Ralf Rangnick names the same starting XI that beat Brentford on Monday, which means another start for Juan Mata.

The fit-again Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are back on the bench, meanwhile.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Cucurella, Dunk, Veltman, Trossard, Caicedo, Bissouma, Gross, March, Mac Allister, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Webster, Duffy, Offiah, Lallana, Alzate, Maupay, Ferguson.

Manchester United: De Gea, Telles, Varane, Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, McTominay, Mata, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo.

Subs: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Fernandez, Jones, Fred, Lingard, Cavani, Garnacho.

    The way the United fans celebrated the title win when they signed Ronaldo and Varane. Quite a fall from grace, this.

    Don't worry Man U fans, it's not all doom and gloom - you've been able to retain the services of Rangnick next season as a 'consultant'.

    No idea what this bureaucrat is usefully going to consult over, but hey-ho, it's your money...

    First thing Ten Hag should do at Man Utd is drop the defensive line deeper. These crazy high lines (Leicester also play too high a defensive line IMO) make no sense.

        DDG is fine.

        The players are clearly lacking confidence. But the high defensive line is suicidal IMO. What happened to playing to your strengths and getting the best out of your players? It is obvious that with Maguire and Lindelof (basically slow CBs) you can't play a high line. But Man Utd still do it. Crazy.

        Instead of always pointing the finger, stop with this lazy narrative. Your club spent £80m on Maguire, £50m on Fred, £50m on Wan Bissaka and so on. Highest net spend in the world last 10 years. You can blame the Glazers for appointing a clueless hierarchy but not transfer spend.

      That's now 4 goals and 3 assists for Trossard in his last 5 starts (he didn't play the City game). His next game is Leeds. Genuine option despite the lack of double.

        At least you'll get a Matip clean sheet in the next game. Wouldn't be surprised if Spurs score today
