Know the opposition

Brighton & Hove Albion (nicknamed The Seagulls and Albion) are a professional football club based in Brighton & Hove. The club was first formed as Brighton & Hove United on 24 June 1901, and the name was quickly changed to Brighton & Hove Albion. The club took the place of a defunct club, Brighton & Hove Rover, in the Southern League In the Southern League they won their only national honour to date, the FA Charity Shield, by defeating Football League Champions Aston Villa in 1910. There had previously been Old Brightonians, representing the area in the FA Cup in the 19th Century. The club initially played at the Hove County Ground, with a few games were also at Goldstone Ground that was used by Hove F.C. From 1902 onwards, Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. and Hove F.C. shared the Gladstone Ground. In 1920, 19 years after the club was formed, they were elected to the Football League's new Third Division.

Mismanagement brought Brighton close to relegation from the Football League to the Conference which they narrowly avoided in 1997 and 1998. A boardroom takeover saved Brighton from liquidation, and following successive promotions they returned to the second tier of English football in 2002, from then on playing in the second and third tiers of English football until the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, where the club earned promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history, marking the end of a 34-year absence from the top flight. Bighton's fans consider Crystal Palace to be their biggest rival with matches between them termed the M23 derby, and they play their home games at Falmer Stadium.

Familiar Faces

N/A.

Giant Midget · Jan 13, 2019

Same team as today, maybe Fred getting a run at RCM and Herrera dropping to the base of the midfield.

Kush · Jan 13, 2019

Reminder we've lost twice to these lot since they've been promoted.

Stuff these cnuts pretty please.

This. I'd have Sanchez over martial as well though.

17Larsson · Jan 13, 2019

This is nearly as big as todays game. We need to win at home against teams like this to keep the momentum going

peridigm · Jan 13, 2019

We can afford to rotate a few now. Give Rashford a rest for this. Martial too.

AJ10 · Jan 13, 2019

Its clear to see we need RB and CB.

Damien · Jan 13, 2019

We'll see a bit of rotation for this game. Lukaku/Sanchez in, maybe a change in midfield too.

Not sure what their away record is like but Brighton have scored in every single home league game this season. Every single one except against Liverpool of course, a game in which they didn't even register a single shot on target.

They are not an easy team to play. Or to put it in simpler terms: "Lads, it's not Spurs".

Would like to see that too. Otherwise same team as today.

Matic can do the job against smaller teams but we absolutely need a more energetic and imposing DM when playing top sides that move the ball fast.

charlenefan · Jan 13, 2019

Games not for a week why would there be any changes unless of injuries?

Same again

bosnian_red · Jan 13, 2019

Same lineup. Full week in between, though I can see Lukaku getting a start as it's a good spot for him to start IMO. Over Lingard I would do, Rashford on the right.

Alabaster Codify7 · Jan 13, 2019

Brighton are poor. I expect nothing less than a comprehensive win.

------------------------DDG---------------------------------
Young--------Jones----------Lindelöf--------------Shaw
-----------------------Matic----------------------------
-------------Herrera----------Pogba---------------------
Mata-----------Rashford--------------Martial

SUBS - Dalot (Shaw), Fred (Matic), Lukaku (Rashford)

Man United 3 - 0 Brighton
Mata, Rashford, Lukaku.

AndyJ1985 · Jan 13, 2019

No need to piss about for the sake of it. Same team, unless Smalling is fit obviously

Canagel · Jan 13, 2019

Same team again please. Perhaps Dalot in at RB. We haven't had settled 11 for long time.

JinnerJamie · Jan 13, 2019

More goals and more clean sheets!

3-0
Tony M, Sachez and Lukaku

Gerald G · Jan 13, 2019

De Gea
Young--Lindelof--Jones--Shaw
Herrera--Matic--Pogba
Lingard--Rashford--Martial

Subs: Romero; Dalot, Fred, Pereira, Sanchez, Mata, Lukaku

Why would we do that. Getting three points here is every bit as crucial as beating Spurs. We play our best team. There's a full week till our next game to recover. Ok we can change some players but I'd keep rashford.

haram · Jan 13, 2019

Same team. If we are up 3-0 we can rest players.

Samid · Jan 13, 2019

Same team. Need to give these game raising cnuts a serious beating.

Why?

Hugh Jass · Jan 13, 2019

We are well stacked in the forward position. So i would not be surprized to see Sanchez and/or Lukaku start.

Maybe Fred might get a run in MF too.

I would try and keep the same team. Maybe two changes from today.

Fully agree with you.
This rotating and giving players rest is over exgragated. They have just had 10 days off (reserves V reading) and a fecking holiday in Dubai.

AJ10 · Jan 13, 2019

This is more Important than spurs game. We can't undo the good work by dropping points vs these lot and I seriously hope we absolutely batter these lot 5 or more goals.

TMDaines · Jan 13, 2019

Won’t be easy. Brighton are solid enough. No reason not to pick our strongest team again with a week between each game at the moment, but that may mean a start for Mata, who I like at home against lesser sides. Needs Young behind him in that case though.

Bwuk · Jan 13, 2019

Same team but would perhaps give Dalot a game ahead of Young at RB.

Adisa · Jan 13, 2019

Same team. We owe these bastards.

ErranMorad · Jan 13, 2019

This would be a tricky game. It would be natural for these players to ease of a bit after the high of the last six games, especially the win at Wembley. Ole would need to work a little harder to keep the boys up on their toes.

Will go with:

De Gea
Dalot Lindelof Jones Shaw
Matic
Fred Pogba
Mata Rashford Martial

Exactly. The game is 6 days away from now. We should keep the same line up.

BluesJr · Jan 13, 2019

Good chance to get back amongst the goals. Hoping for at least 4.

Let's butcher them now shall we?

Come on, you had like one shot on target and that was from a penalty kick

Ban · Jan 13, 2019

Tim for revenge.

el3mel · Jan 13, 2019

Same team, hopefully a 3-0 win or something.

Chicharo · Jan 13, 2019

If we score an early goal, we'll demolish them

horsechoker · Jan 13, 2019

Need to keep up the pressure on Arsenal and Chelsea because one or both will drop points next week. Play our strongest team and hopefully score quite a few so we can at least overtake Arsenal on goal difference.

RonaldoVII · Jan 13, 2019

Can't be complacent. Same team as today unless Smalling is fit to start.

Livewire1974 · Jan 13, 2019

Difficult game. They played very well against the bin dippers yesterday.
