The penultimate Premier League match of the day is a fixture that has caused Manchester United plenty of problems in recent years.

Brighton and Hove Albion have won six of their last seven league meetings with their hosts, including all three of their most recent games at Old Trafford.

Kick-off in tonight’s encounter between the Red Devils and the Seagulls is at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

There are two changes for the hosts this evening, both of which were expected.

The two players dropping out are the pre-advertised injury doubts, Mason Mount and Harry Maguire. Mount is among the substitutes, with Maguire not involved at all.

Benjamin Sesko and Leny Yoro come into Ruben Amorim’s starting XI.

There’s just the one alteration for the visitors.

Fabian Hurzeler brings in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gomez, which will likely see Ferdi Kadioglu pushed further up into an ‘out of position’ left-wing role.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko. 

Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Dorgu, Malacia, Ugarte, Heaven, Mount, Mainoo.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen, Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, De Cuyper, Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Rutter, Kadioglu, Welbeck. 

Subs: Steele, Tzimas, Watson, Kostoulas, Milner, Boscagli, Gomez, Coppola, Oriola.

    Raul (5 pts.) coming in for Sttach in my Draft team is the only thing that has gone my way so far this GW.

  2. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Let's fn go Mbeumo!

  3. borat

    How much did 2 pt merchant JP got today

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      Take a wild guess. Here's a clue, no shot on target in his last 500 minutes.

      1. borat
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        He is worse than Jackson and Nkunku. Brighton as usual robbed them of 60m £

  4. F4L

    cunha its about time you did something this season, please

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      The united system is designed more for mbuemo to get returns tbh. He could still get something but I'd probably sell even if he does return

      Also he's not completely nailed

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        yeah hes on the chopping list for sure. got bruno and mbeumo as well anyways. just early season cunha was electric so was holding out

        unless he gets 2+ attacking returns today and just runs the match

        1. Peteex
          • 13 Years
          5 months, 11 days ago

          You have Cunha, Bruno and Mbeumo all three of them?

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            5 months, 11 days ago

            for basically all season yeah (got mbeumo in gw2). its been er a ride, not great but been abit misfortunate at times (to say the least 🙂 )

            1. Peteex
              • 13 Years
              5 months, 11 days ago

              Jeez. That's one hell of a overkill if you ask me. I have Mbeumo at the moment and think one ManU attacker is enough.

              Let's hope Mbeumo gets us some points today!

              1. F4L
                • 11 Years
                5 months, 11 days ago

                yeah true, just couldn't pick which 1/2 to go for so went all in

                fingers crossed!

    Woltemade looked awful. For people who dont have him, stay away. Ill give him West Ham because they are bad in the air and then hes gone if he looks as poor as today.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      He doesn't look like he has big hauls in him. More like jiminez from a few seasons ago, drip feeding of Goals

      Still cheap but I prefer mateta in. 3-5-2

  6. lilmessipran

    Gordon and JP stinking up my team...cant wait to get rid

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      Yeah can't wait to get rid of Pedro

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        For whom?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 11 days ago

          Matets

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      Gordon looked good today

      Shd have had returns his team mates let him down

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        Yup, that's been his story for a while now.

  7. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Where are JPs assist points for Isidor goal?

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    I have Sarr and Munoz. Who would you get:

    A) Mateta
    B) Gakpo

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      thats tough. er kinda would lean towards gakpo if he does the business again today, palace showed midweek their attack can still misfire, and mateta is still missing too many chances, albeit at least hes getting them

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      Let the games this weekend decide for you

  9. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Dunk hiding his Hitman tattoo on his neck I see

  10. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Which midfielder to get for next few weeks? Have Mateta in squad.

    A. Sarr
    B. Iwobi
    C. Minteh

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      A

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      sarr

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Rubbish from Minteh. Apart from the miss, he made no attempt to get onside.

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 11 days ago

    Welbeck looked fast next to DeLigt and Dalot there

  13. Basileus
      5 months, 11 days ago

      I have 6 points from my first 4 players. What a week this is going to be!

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        I have 4 from 3

    • Qaiss

      5 months, 11 days ago

      Brighton outplaying Man Utd for first 15 minutes, really didn’t see that coming

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        Really?

    • F4L

        Advantage brentford

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 7 Years

          OMG

    • Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      Bruno owners lucky no pen, as he would've missed it anyway

    • FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      5 months, 11 days ago

      This guy Lammens has been an amazing buy.... might be the best PL goalkeeper currently

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        Not sure if serious

        1. FPL Sanky
          • 2 Years
          5 months, 11 days ago

          Best PL goalkeeper might be a stretch but he has looked good....United have been impressive defensively ever since he started

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            5 months, 11 days ago

            Raya has consistently been the best goalkeeper for the last season and half in my opinion

            This new guy is doing decent. I’d rather judge him over the next few months. Consistency is key

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 months, 11 days ago

              Raya and Donna are head and shoulders above the rest but Lawns has had a decent start to his Utd career

          • 6 Years
          5 months, 11 days ago

          A punt on Man U coming good is risky, but could be brilliant. Cunha and Mbeumo?
