Team News

Man Utd
Brighton
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could name an unchanged team from the one that beat Tottenham last weekend.
  • Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic missed training on Wednesday but are expected to play here.
  • Alexis Sánchez has trained all week and will make the squad this weekend.
  • Marcus Rashford is the main man in attack and should keep Romelu Lukaku out of the team.
  • Eric Bailly has served a three-match ban and is available for United but Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof are expected to continue in defence.
  • Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are not ready to return, while Marouane Fellaini has been ruled out for up to a month with a calf injury.
  • Mat Ryan, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Bernardo and José Izquierdo are still unavailable for Brighton ahead of Saturday's trip to Old Trafford. Yves Bissouma will only make the squad if he trains on Friday.
  • Chris Hughton may stick with the same team fielded against Liverpool last weekend despite losing 1-0.

Prediction

  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won his first six matches in charge of Manchester United, becoming the first manager in the club's history to achieve the feat. They are now level on points with fifth-place Arsenal and have the top four in their sights, as Arsenal host Chelsea in Saturday's late kick-off.
  • Brighton are eight points above the relegation zone and have only won one of their last seven in the competition. Away from home, the Seagulls have only won two league games all season and have failed to score on their previous two trips to Old Trafford.
