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.

  15. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Time to get Boomo?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Ya, it’s the sort of move I’d have waited on too long in previous years. Maybe just time to get on it quick?

  16. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Do you think wolte to wellbeck is a silly move ?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      If you dont own Mateta hes the obvious pick. Wolte looked garbage but Id give him WHU who are terrible in the air before moving on.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      not an owner of either but yeah probably, woltemade hit the post today as well. just make sure hes rested midweek cos i think he needs it

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Cheers both. Also planning gyo to mateta

  17. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Best part is Bruno owners are gonna stick with him as Mbeumo will be away for AFCON and Bruno gets DEFCONS

    things that I love to see as a owner

    1. NoOneCares
        5 months, 19 days ago

        You really are a total annoying melt.

          5 months, 19 days ago

          most people here talk about their good picks but their poor ones as well but u know this guy only shows up for the former. pretty sure he was starting with dorgu who is a ridiculous pick

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years

            Classic ‘sing when you’re winning’ case.

              I started with Dorgu, and he was a ridiculous pick 😆

                Same, one of the reasons why I wildcarded GW 4 (bad decision)

                  Also the same, and am still trying to repair the damage!

                Going this gw

            3. NoOneCares
                5 months, 19 days ago

                He was also on 5 (-4) from 3. He is a total sheite player anyway but couldn't care less about that. Him and FPL V are the reasons this dwindling site needs a mute button.

                  Playing 12 seasons with 5 top 20k, 3 top 10k and 1 top 1k

                  Best rank - 675th

                  Go figure

                      No one cares about your made up nonsense. Just post less.

                            I am undermining your constant irritating posts that make this site insufferable. Couldn't care less about your constant need for attention with or without made up nonsense.

                              You initial statement stands void about me not posting about fails

                              And if that’s so, I can very well celebrate the hauls

                              Now STFU

                                  You can't even read as I didn't say anything about you posting about fails, read again. Just stop posting like a good boy.

                        Ouch, if you had to start Dorgu this week I’ll let you have the Mbeumo win 😆

                          Dorgu and Gudmundsson mate

                          Jealous people here these days

                        fair enough i wasnt online for those i only talk about what i've seen. i was wrong

                5 months, 19 days ago

                Christ I’m two steps behind again after a few decent GWs. Not sure do I want Mbeumo or Saka or what. If I wasn’t set on BB this week I’d probably have Mbeumo. But got woltemade to have a full starting 15…aaarrrghhh, frustrating game at times

                1. pundit of punts
                  • 13 Years
                  5 months, 19 days ago

                  Get them both

              • have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                5 months, 19 days ago

                Salad out for Mbeumo this week if he doesn't return.

                  • 13 Years
                  5 months, 19 days ago

                  Few in my ML did that this week 🙁

                5 months, 19 days ago

                Beat Liverpool (away!), 3 consecutive wins. Defense isn't great (no surprise) but the attack is clicking. Cunha finally scored. Interesting

                  • 13 Years

                  We can wish, but in reality, I'm expecting nothing. He is finished.

                    Remember the Atletico game? 5 weeks ago

                      5 months, 19 days ago

                      yea, a random one off.

                    • 9 Years
                    5 months, 19 days ago

                    He’s still got it, impossible to ‘lose it’ in under a year.
                    The issue is he is being utilized in the wrong way, Slot randomly tried to fix something that wasn’t broken

                      • 10 Years

                        • 9 Years
                        5 months, 19 days ago

                        Again was system and club not suited to him

                          Had he stayed at Arsenal he’d have continued to kill it for years

                Grealish/Kudus + Pedro > Mbeumo + Mateta for -8 (through either Reijnders or VdV downgrade) rage transfers?

                It’s madness isn’t it?

                  Please Lord, Liverpool to lose 4-3 to in injury time after a Gakpo hattrick?

                    salah hat trick

              • Vazza
                • 5 Years
                5 months, 19 days ago

                I’m strongly considering this for free:

                Gyokores • Van de Ven • Diouf
                =>
                Delap • Timber • Calafiori

                I’m keeping Salah and Rejnders.

                Thoughts?

                Upto 13k overall rank for next 10 mins, highest I've ever been in 17 years. 11 finishes in top 200k but never been inside top 20k even for a week. Don't own anyone in the Livers game though so will take a (hopefully small) tumble before the days out

                  Rooting for you. Believe - anything can happen (like Bruno not getting attacking returns in a 4-2 win). Enjoy, and stick to your plan, Calculated Risks can pay off

                Guess we got lucky with Rodon last night, but Mbeumo*2 over Haaland cap will likely kickstart the season for me...

                  Awesome play. Haaland score still unknown, but away game and less points/goal, looking good

                If sSalah doesn't score at least TWO, I'm brining in Mbeumo, tandem
