Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of this Premier League clash between Manchester United and Brighton and Hove Albion!
United will be aiming to build on their 3-0 victory over Partizan Belgrade during the week, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side also looking to return to winning ways in the league following their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth last weekend. The Old Trafford outfit are currently sitting 14th in the table after an indifferent start to the campaign, but they could move as high as seventh with a win over the Seagulls.
SUBS: Jesse Lingard, Mason Greenwood, James Garner, Juan Mata, Phil Jones, Marco Rojo, Sergio Romero.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams; Scott McTominay, Fred; Daniel James, Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.
SUBS: David Button, Leon Balogun, Ezequiel Schelotto, Glenn Murray, Solly March, Pascal Gross, Aaron Mooy.
Brighton enter the match in strong form following victories over Everton and Norwich in recent weeks, and another success against United would see Graham Potter’s side move up to fifth in the Premier League table. The former Swansea boss has made a steady start to life on the south coast, but his side’s excellent form of late is reflective of the positive-minded game plan he has aimed to deploy at the Amex Stadium.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION (4-4-2): Mat Ryan; Martin Montoya, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Dan Burn; Steven Alzate, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Leandro Trossard; Neal Maupay, Aaron Connolly.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and it is almost time for kick-off at Old Trafford.
The players are back out on the pitch following the interval.
United will now be looking to build on this resut when they face a diffcult trip to face Sheffield United after the international break, while Brighton must now look ahead to their clash with high-flying Leicester City in two weeks' time.
That's all for now. Thank you for following live coverage of this Premier League clash!
