Manchester United are looking for a sixth straight league win as they host Brighton at Old Trafford. After a morale-boosting win over Tottenham Hotspurs in London, United will be full of confidence going into this one. One of the problems for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that will now creep in is giving game time to some of the big names like Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata who have been pushed to the periphery under the new regime. With Brighton, not a top ten side, some of them might see a place in the starting eleven giving rest to a few. Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion - Live Football Score
Alexis Sanchez is fit again after an injury he picked up in a game against Reading. The Chile international will be pushing for a start after impressing interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in training. Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are still out with niggles they have been carrying for the past month. Both Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic were granted a day off for personal reasons but have trained with the squad and are available for selection. Phil Jones who looked quite shaky in the last game should continue at the heart of defence showing how far out of depth the United’s defensive situation is at the moment who rely on David De Gea to bail them out time after time.
Brighton are without Bernardo Fernandes and Jose Izquierdo who are nursing a hamstring and a knee injury respectively. Yves Bissouma is set to undergo a slated to undergo a late fitness test to mark himself available for selection. He has overcome a hip injury but Brighton clearly do not want to take a chance in a game of such importance. Glenn Murray has been the real shining light for Brighton with the striker bagging 8 goals so far. He will be a threat against an unpredictable Re Devils’ defence.
The last time these two teams met, Brighton piled on the misery on United with a 3-1 home win. Manchester United would be eager to avenge the loss with a commanding display in front of their home supporter.
