However, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Team News
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, while last week’s win-securing hero Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in at the back.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench this campaign.
