United Host Brighton After Brighton Beat Liverpool

Manchester United will host Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday 25 October with a 5:30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports; United are seeking a third successive win. Brighton, under Ruben Amorim, recently beat Liverpool and sit two points behind the champions, a result that eased pressure on Amorim but leaves the tie with United significant. Amorim switched tactics at Anfield by starting Matheus Cunha and benching Benjamin Šeško because of Liverpool’s aerial strength; Cunha starred and may keep his place while Šeško is likely to be used as an impact substitute and Bryan Mbeumo is expected to start. Harry Maguire impressed when replacing Leny Yoro and could retain his spot. Lisandro Martínez is edging closer to a return from the knee injury that sidelined him in February, with no other major fitness concerns reported.
