Match Preview
The Red Devils, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes in a row this evening. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge now more than ever!
Yet, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, winning six from seven encounters between the clubs.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. That said, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, so this game is intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.

Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations in the wake of the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, formerly of United that lifted the title in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed about the views of Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans from the German coach.
It is widely discussed that this match might affect their campaigns in the top flight continues.
Key players to watch are the captain in red and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, each performing well lately.
