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.

    Gotta say I’m really surprised VAR is still being used in the premier league, I don’t know ANYONE who wants it so why do they continue to use it

      I guess the level of investment, time spent on implementing and the amount of backing from corporate football they won’t want to lose face and admit they were wrong.

        Even though it would save them so much money and hate it lol.
        I guess pride is priceless

          *so much money and hate

        Is this about VAR? Or United's owners?

        1. Scapegoat Salah

          VAR

            Could be about ANYONE

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              5 months, 11 days ago

              As in don’t know anybody who likes VAR and would want to keep it

      I want it. It's not perfect but it gets to the right decision a lot more than we had before. Refs get it wrong all the time, this is fairer.

        I prefer error in human judgement and flow with the game, not to mention you can celebrate the moment a goal goes in without waiting with bated breath.

        Would take errors over that any day, the actual fix is better refs!

    BOOM BOOM

      Mbeumo unlucky not to get more today. Quality footballer.

      what a great differential Boomo has been since wc 6

      1. NoOneCares
          5 months, 11 days ago

          Anyone who got him in in GW6 is clueless. It never happened.

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            5 months, 11 days ago

            Bought him in GW4, does that count?

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 11 days ago

        Cunha also tempting but don’t fancy triple up with Bruno and Mbeumo

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          5 months, 11 days ago

          Bruno > Cunha?

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 11 days ago

            Not sure I think I need to see who will take the next United pen, I’ve heard it will be Mbeumo so then yes will sell Bruno

        brentford go with a 4 back, interesting. they want to get at liverpool's defence. should be some goals in the match

            5 months, 11 days ago

            Lol Dorgu the trashcan. Comes on, loses the ball with his first involvement, lucky to not get sent off.

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

              Thought you couldn't be any worse than Dalot. Guess I was wrong.

            2. Moon Dog
                5 months, 11 days ago

                I didn't even think it was a foul 😆

            3. Supersonic_

              5 months, 11 days ago

              Useless Minteh. Just score instead of trying to win a foul.

              He’s lost possession of the ball long before any foul there

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

              Stupid. He was never going to get the ball.
