Manchester United Team News
In their last competitive match, Manchester United lost to Arsenal away with a score of 3-1. Although they took the lead in the 27th minute when Christian Eriksen set up Marcus Rashford, they couldn’t hold onto the lead, and the equalizer came immediately in the next attack. They also took the lead again in the 88th minute through Alejandro Garnacho, but he was found offside. In injury time, they conceded two more goals, which was the final result.
After four matches played, they have two wins and two losses. They recorded victories against Wolves and Nottingham Forest but lost to Tottenham and Arsenal.
Manchester United winger Antony will not represent the club “until further notice” amid allegations of assault made against him, while Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tom Heaton are all sidelined due to injuries. Recruit Sofyan Amrabat is doubtful with a back problem, but reportedly, the Moroccan hopes to be available for the match against Brighton, and both Lisandro Martinez and Mason Mount could return to the squad if they fully recover from foot and hamstring injuries.
With Antony unavailable, and Jadon Sancho expected to miss out after being banned from training following his social media outburst towards Eric Ten Hag, Bruno Fernandes, Facundo Pellistri, and Alejandro Garnacho are all options who could start on the right flank. Marcus Rashford, who scored against Arsenal in the last game, will continue on his preferred left wing, with either Rasmus Hojlund or Anthony Martial leading the attack.

Brighton Team News
Brighton, on the other hand, won their last match against Newcastle at home with a score of 3-1. They took the lead in the 27th minute and doubled their advantage in the 65th minute, and just five minutes later, they managed to score another goal. Interestingly, Evan Ferguson was the scorer of all three goals. The visiting team managed to score a consolation goal in injury time but couldn’t fully come back into the game.
In addition to the win against Newcastle, Brighton has defeated Luton and Wolves in the current season, while losing to West Ham. They currently occupy the sixth position in the table with nine points, only three points behind the league leaders Manchester City.
Brighton is concerned about the injury of Evan Ferguson, who withdrew from the Republic of Ireland squad due to a knee injury, and the 18-year-old striker will be assessed before the game, along with former Manchester United player Danny Welbeck, who missed the win over Newcastle due to a “minor issue.” Julio Enciso and Jakub Moder are still out with knee injuries.
After watching the win against Newcastle from the stands, new signings Ansu Fati and Carlos Baleba are both in contention to make their Seagulls debuts at Old Trafford, with the former, on loan from Barcelona, most likely to play in the No.10 role in between star wingers Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March, and the latter set to compete with Billy Gilmour and Mahmoud Dahoud for a start in central midfield alongside newly-capped Germany international Pascal Gross. Joel Veltman will hope to fend off competition from James Milner for a start at right-back, and Adam Webster is looking to start in central defense ahead of Jan Paul van Hecke, while De Zerbi will ponder whether to stick with Bart Verbruggen in goal or recall Jason Steele between the sticks.

Manchester United vs Brighton Prediction
Although Manchester United is a slight favorite in this match due to the home advantage, our opinion is that Brighton is closer to victory due to better form, head-to-head history, and their current position in the table. Additionally, it is assumed that the game will be more open, so our suggested bet for this match is a draw or a win for the away team, with both teams scoring at least one goal.
