Man Utd team news

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has limited attacking options going into this game with Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial all doubtful for the clash. Paul Pogba was able to feature for the national team and completed 90 minutes against Bosnia, so should start. Victor Lindelof left the Sweden camp early to manage his back issue but should be fit to start too.

The manager's big decision is in goal, where both Dean Henderson and David De Gea are available again. Both men will be expecting to start and despite Henderson's good performances recently, it's expected the Spaniard will get the nod.

Brighton team news

Brighton are still without Tariq Lamptey and Solly March, but are hopeful of welcoming Adam Webster back after missing the last two months.

Predicted lineups

Man United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; James, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani.

Brighton: Sanchez; Webster, Dunk, White; Groß, Bissouma, Lallana, Moder; Trossard; Welbeck, Maupay.

Man Utd - Brighton prediction

This should be a pretty entertaining game of football to round off your weekend. Manchester United's home form has been iffy this season but they've improved defensively recently, while Brighton have looked to play their style of football no matter what.

With United's injury problems, Graham Potter will feel is a great opportunity to beat the Red Devils. They caused plenty of problems for Man Utd in the first game and were unlucky to come away without a win, never mind a point.

Solskjaer has found a way to get results in games that he's not expected to, but this is a game United should win. Pogba's return to action is a boost but without the pace of Rashford the attack could struggle. It should be a close game but United's added quality should see them nick another close result.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Brighton
