Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester United-Brighton, the likely lineups

Manchester Utd-Brighton, a match valid for the ninth day of the Premier League, is scheduled for Saturday at 12:30 pm. The Red Devils are in the hunt for a third consecutive victory that would bring them back to the top positions after their shock start to the season: Amorim’s team won the last two matches against Sunderland and Liverpool and seems to have found more confidence in its own means. Very positive period also for Brighton, on a four-match winning streak and fresh from their home success against Newcastle.
Cunha is expected to play as a starting forward in place of Sesko, in support will be Mason Mount and Mbeumo. In midfield Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, on the flanks space for Diallo and Dalot.
Brighton with Welbeck, former Man United, as central point; the trio of trequartists consists of Mitoma, Gomez and Miteh. In midfield Baleba with Ayari.
