Manchester United welcome Brighton & Hove Albion in today’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils recently ended a four-match winless league streak with a 3-1 victory over Southampton.
They were second-best for most of the game, but Amad Diallo saved their blushes with a maiden career hat-trick.
United face a sterner challenge against the Seagulls. The players need to produce a better showing to secure three points.
Brighton have been a bogey team for the Red Devils. United have suffered five defeats in the previous six top-flight meetings.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana has been an undisputed starter in the Premier League for United. He was brilliant against the Saints with several crucial saves. He is assured his place in goal.
Leny Yoro could make way for Harry Maguire in defence. Yoro was run ragged by Kamaldeen Sulemana. He was easily dribbled past on several occasions.
Maguire is poised to partner Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez in central defence.
With Diogo Dalot back from suspension, he could start in the left wing-back role. Noussair Mazraoui will move into his regular position on the opposite flank.
Kobbie Mainoo was taken off at the interval against the Saints after failing to win any duels. He could be given a breather. Toby Collyer deserves to start after a lively cameo display.
Manuel Ugarte was also substituted early in the second half on Thursday, but Amorim may want additional defensive assurance against a high-pressing Brighton side.
Alejandro Garnacho could drop to the bench to accommodate Amad Diallo, who started in the right wing-back position in midweek.
Diallo was exceptional in the closing stages after pushing into an advanced attacking role. He should line up alongside captain Bruno Fernandes in the attacking midfield positions.
Joshua Zirkzee deserves to lead the attack amid Rasmus Hojlund’s poor form up front. The Dutchman has not scored regularly but provides more with his better link-up play.
