United to the Amex Stadium just over a week on from their 3-0 home win over Ipswich Town, with head coach Howe opting to stick with the same starting 11 that eased past the Tractor Boys for their trip to the South Coast.

Nick Pope is in goal, with Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Dan Burn and Tino Livramento at the back.

Joe Willock again deputises for the injured Joelinton in midfield, with Sandro Tonali and captain Bruno Guimarães alongside him.

And Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes will again look to provide support from the flanks for centre forward Alexander Isak.

The only change on the bench sees young forward Sean Neave replace John Ruddy, with Martin Dúbravka, Emil Krafth and Sven Botman all named.

Lewis Miley and Sean Longstaff are the midfield reinforcements, with Anthony Gordon, Will Osula and Callum Wilson also on the bench.
