Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, who drops to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent entirely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, ex-United player that lifted the title back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
