In their first game under new boss Fabian Hürzeler, the Seagulls demolished Everton, picking up a 0-3 win. Kaoru Mitoma started and finished the move that brought them their first goal, underlining his importance to his team. However, the 31-year-old manager has injury issues to contend with. Yankuba Minteh was a doubt but is fit to start. Bart Verbruggen, Solomon March and Julio Enciso remain out. Evan Ferguson and Pervis Estupinan are back in training, but this clash has come too early for them. However, Tariq Lamptey is on the bench.

Things were less fluent for the Red Devils, but they eventually secured a 1-0 over Fulham thanks to a goal by new boy Joshua Zirkzee. We may see another recent arrival, Matthijs de Ligt, start this game as Erik ten Hag has named an unchanged team, so no first start for another recent arrival, Matthijs de Ligt. Harry Maguire limped off last weekend but is fit to start.

Here's how they line up:

Brighton: Steele, dunk, Milner, Pedro, Gilmour, Minteh, Welbeck, Mitoma, Van Hecke, Veltman, Hinshelwood

Man Utd: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Mount, Rashford; Fernandes.

These sides have European ambitions and will want to get points on the board early. Tune in to make sure you don’t miss it. Plus, make sure you keep up with all the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
