United backed to beat Brighton
Man Utd's excellent away run came to an end in the FA Cup against Leicester last time out but with the home advantage this weekend, a return to winning ways could well be on the cards this Sunday. The hosts have won three of their last five matches in all competitions and love playing against the Seagulls. Man Utd have won their last five encounters with Brighton, including the duo's last two meetings at Old Trafford. Jones remains sidelined with a knee injury, but Mata, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial could all return to the squad to face Brighton.
Brighton look like they have hit form just at the right time in the season and will be hoping that the international break hasn't ruined their flow ahead of a tricky trip to Old Trafford. Brighton have won their last two Premier League games, but before that they lost three on the run against Leicester, West Brom and Crystal Palace. The Seagulls sit 6pts clear of third from bottom Fulham and a win on Sunday could move them even further away from the ongoing relegation battle. Andone, March, Webster and Lamptey have all been ruled out this weekend through injury, but Connolly could return.
