    Exactly, this could be a tough evening. The expectation that we'll just go out and beat Brighton is a bit strange, it's a difficult match that we normally lose!

    What expectation? Every red I’ve talked to about this game isn’t confident.
     
    Think the Liverpool win was a false dawn. Just a ton of issues still evident in that game. They hit the post three times and missed a sitter. We really very easily could have, perhaps should have, lost that. Brighton are a compact and hard working team that will expose our frailties, which are abundant. 1-2 Brighton I’d guess.
     
    Critically pivotal game

    We take the momentum we got we Liverpool, and win this - we start to have hope for a top 5 finish

    We lose this, and we are back to being useless shit we have been for past several years

    I wouldn’t say it’s a false dawn, it’s progress. We were worth the win but we’re not at the point of dominating big teams at their gaff. To my eyes we’re clearly showing improvement from last season but the margins are thin in top level football.
     
    Just win this and go on a sustained run. With only one game per week we should have an advantage compared to the rest of the top 5 challengers
     
    Great line up. Let’s get this front 3 firing together. Glad Yoro is back in

    As much as it was a great result at Anfield last week, these fixtures are the type of games that we really need to start winning again.

    Exactly. Last week means nothing if we don’t come away here with 3 pts
     
    Really hope we can build momentum with another win today, but its definitely oncenof those games, where it feels like we will get hammered
     
    Fingers crossed again. Never know what to expect. So all we can do is hope. Doesn't matter if we scrape it in stoppage time. 3 points is the only thing that matters.
     
    Expected line up with Mount and Maguire having knocjs, I would have had Dorgu instead of Dalot.. but come on United!!!
     
    50/50 this one. Strong Brighton side who usually have our number.
     
    Interesting lineup.

    We may see long balls today too, since Amorim talked about Brighton's pressing game. Bypassing it will be an objective, but unlike against Liverpool when we were looking to win second balls, we will aim to win them first time with Sesko.

    Cunha will be crucial in the middle keeping the ball and relieving pressure.
     
    Mazroui isn’t getting much game time this season is he. I think he’s very suited to the RCB role. Him, Amad and Mbuemo is a very strong right side.
     
    Expected team. Big game for Sesko.

    Good to see Mount on the bench so the knock wasn’t too serious. Will need him 2nd half for his pressing.

    Malacia the surprise.
     
    Baleba as been bad this season but he’ll definitely be auditioning here
     
    Mount is probably pretty unlucky to miss out, but that's a nice problem to have.
     
    I suppose Malacia is going to be kept at least in and around things for a bit just in case we need him to cover during Afcon with Dorgu playing on the right.
