Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Brighton boss Graham Potter to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. José Izquierdo (Knee Injury) is out of contention.

We think that The Seagulls will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this one and select Matthew Ryan, Dan Burn, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Martin Montoya, Aaron Mooy, Davy Pröpper, Yves Bissouma, Leandro Trossard, Neal Maupay and Solly March.

ℹ️ Team News: Manchester United

Thanks to a completely injury-free group ready to go, Manchester United boss Ole Solskjær does not have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this match.

We believe The Red Devils could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with David De Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Nilsson-Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Brighton will likely be able to get a goal against this Manchester United team, but a single goal may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 win for Manchester United at the end of the 90 minutes.

We are expecting it to be pretty even.
