Manchester United will be traveling to the East Coast this Saturday to take Brighton & Hove Albion in 2024/25 Premier League action.
United opened their season with a 1-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to Joshua Zirkzee's debut goal. It was an important win for the Red Devils, as they were still settling in after injury concerns and players returning from lengthy breaks after representing their respective countries at Euro 2024 and Copa America.
Brighton, on the other hand, began their new era under Fabian Hurzeler with a dominating 3-0 victory over 10-man Everton. The Seagulls have beaten United in four of their last six matches.

Brighton vs. Man Utd lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
Hurzeler's start as Brighton boss got off to an ideal start and therefore he could look to keep his side unchanged, although Yankuba Minteh could miss out after being substituted due to a head injury on matchday one.
Tariq Lamptey, Pervis Estupinan and Evan Ferguson returned to training following injuries but were not fit enough to start in the win at Goodison Park. They will not likely be rushed back.
Julio Enciso had a busy summer playing for Paraguay in the Copa America and the Olympics and still may not quite be ready.
Brighton predicted (4-2-3-1, right to left): Steele (GK) — Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk Hinshelwood — Milner, Wieffer — Adingra, Mitoma, Pedro — Welbeck.
Injured: Bart Verbruggen, Solly March, Yankuba Minteh (doubt)
Suspended: None
Ten Hag said his team weren't quite ready for the new season, especially the new signings, as Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt both had to start on the bench. However, both could feature in the first XI here, particularly with striker Rasmus Hojlund still ruled out.
The Dutch boss was forced to start Noussair Mazraoui after a defensive injury crisis that includes Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof.
Scott McTominay is being tipped to leave United before the end of the transfer window and so may not be included in the matchday squad. Jadon Sancho will hope to feature, having been left out for the Fulham game following an ear infection earlier in the week.
Man Utd predicted (4-3-3, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Marinez, Dalot — Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes — Amad Diallo, Rashford, Zirkzee.
Injured: Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof, Rasmus Hojlund
Suspended: None
