Team News
Manchester United
Ruben Amorim faces late fitness checks on match-winner Harry Maguire and midfielder Mason Mount, though both are expected to be available despite minor knocks. Noussair Mazraoui is also back in contention. Nevertheless, Lisandro Martínez remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury.
Brighton
Fabian Hürzeler has received a boost with midfielder Diego Gomez declared fit to start. Furthermore, Brajan Gruda, Kaoru Mitoma, and Joël Veltman are all close to returning and could feature. The Seagulls will, however, definitely be without Jack Hinshelwood, Solly March, and Adam Webster.
Form
Manchester United
United have finally found some consistency, winning back-to-back league games for the first time under Amorim. Their victory at Anfield last time out was particularly impressive. Consequently, they are now aiming for a fourth consecutive home league win, a feat they last achieved in August 2023 – a run which was ended by Brighton.
Brighton
The Seagulls are in solid form, having lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions. Their 2-1 win over Newcastle last weekend lifted them to 10th. Moreover, their recent record against United is exceptional, winning six of the last seven league meetings, including the last three at Old Trafford.
Predicted Lineups
Man Utd predicted XI: Lammens; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Šeško.
Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, De Cuyper; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Gómez; Welbeck.
