It’s our belief that The Red Devils could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Senne Lammens, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Our selection here is for a 3-1 margin for Brighton & Hove Albion by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
