Brighton and Hove Albion Vs. Manchester United (15:00 UTC )
Venue: Amex Stadium

After the disappointing first game against Watford, Brighton will look to bounce back. They are going to face Red Devils, so it’s not an easy task for them again. Meanwhile Machester United will look to continue their winning streak. It’s not easy for both teams to grab points, but both sides will try their best to grab all three points.

Team News
Multiple injury problems for Manchester United, which can be a headache for Mourinho. Red Devils’s both right back Antonio Valencia in Diego Dalot is out of action due to injuries. Nemanja Matic is also out due to an abdominal injury and another midfielder Ander Herrera is out of a game due to a hamstring injury. But some players are back from post world cup breaks. Marouane Fellaini, Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku could start for Manchester United after coming back from post world cup break. We may see Rashford, Pereira, and Mata can be dropped from the starting line up.
Meanwhile, Jose Izquierdo, Florin Andone, and Bruno are still the doubt for the Brighton. We may see their two new signings Alireza Jahanbaksh and Yves Bissouma in the starting line up against the Red Devils. Chris Hughton could drop some players from Anthony Knockaert, Pascal Gross, Dale Stephens and Yves Bissouma, whose performance were not right in the first match.
