Yahoo News Brighton vs Manchester United confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today
Brighton welcome Manchester United to the Amex Stadium in the Premier League today as the visitors seek their first top-flight victory of the campaign.
Brighton were defeated 3-1 by Chelsea in their season opener before comfortably beating Newcastle 3-0 despite having a man sent off.
Meanwhile, United started their term late, stepping out last weekend for their first Premier League match of the season and putting in a sub-par performance en route to a 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace.
And while United responded this week in the Carabao Cup by seeing off Luton Town 3-0, they looked off the pace again until a late flourish. Brighton, meanwhile, beat Preston 2-0 in the cup competition.

Prediction
United have looked poor in their first two showings this term, but Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood getting on the scoresheet against Luton will have done their confidence some good – not that they’re usually lacking in that department. Brighton will be very much up for this fixture, however, having beaten Newcastle 3-0 last week even after losing a man. Brighton 1-2 United.
