Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce this evening. Confidence is high under Ruben Amorim currently!
Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, having triumphed in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings in this rivalry.

Selection Changes
Man Utd have made two adjustments in the wake of the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro replaces him at the back.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad this campaign.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch following victory at home versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford in fine form scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
