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.

    The whole fpl season has been disrupted because man u bought two of the most consistent attacking midfielders in the premier league.

  16. F4L

    casemiro given goal, been lenient this season. like evanilson's 'goal' at spurs

    1. All Hail K

      There's lenient and then there are gifts. Pretty sure that was going outside the post.

      1. JBG
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Might be curling towards to goal tbf, but yeah.. either way that one.

        1. All Hail K

          That's fair.

    Things could become really interesting if Palace beat Arsenal in this GW as it would leave 8-9 top half teams within 5 points difference from the top.

    1. Nightcrawler
      12 months, 3 days ago

      interesting for what? even if arsenal lose city and arsenal will get away easily

      1. Bob_the_builder
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Maybe later on in the season but for now it will be very open. City aren't what they used to be and Arsenal are perennial bottlers despite their quality so while they may still run away with things, it is far from a certain thing.

  21. Bobby Digital
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Surely Dorgu is better than Dalot?

    1. Dannyb
      12 months, 3 days ago

  22. JBG

      1. JBG
        12 months, 3 days ago

        1. x.jim.x
          12 months, 3 days ago

  29. Kaneyonero
    12 months, 3 days ago

    All set for a Salah hattrick

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Wouldn’t matter really, mostly dead teams making up his ownership

  30. Silecro
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Preseason Bruno hype: pens, corners, occasional long range goals, defcons guaranteed, assists galore and max baps

    Actual season Bruno: doesnt score, doesnt assist, misses pens when he gets them, relinquishes some fkcks and corners to mbeumo, always 1 short of defcon treshold

    FPL at its absolute finest

      Yes, it is a game of fine margins, luck, and educated guesses. You are correct.
