Manchester United will look to make it two wins in a row in the Premier League when they host Brighton on Sunday.
The Red Devils returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over relegation-threatened Southampton, thanks to a hattrick from Amad Diallo, in their last match.
Brighton, on the other hand, ended an eight-game winless streak in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town in their previous outing.

Man United vs. Brighton lineups, team news
Diogo Dalot will probably come straight back into the United side after serving a one-match suspension against Southampton following his FA Cup red card against Arsenal.
Amad started at right wing-back against Southampton before being pushed forward for his late heroics. If Amorim wishes to keep the in-form star in his forward line but maintain attacking thrust, Antony could be an option to start at right wing-back.
That would in turn facilitate a move into the back three for the versatile Noussair Mazraoui after Leny Yoro struggled in the Southampton game and Harry Maguire was only fit enough to feature as a late substitute.
Man United predicted starting lineup (3-4-3, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez — Antony, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dalot — Amad, Hojlund, Garnacho.
Injured: Mount (thigh), Shaw (calf), Lindelof, Evans (both muscular)
Suspended:
Danny Welbeck returned to action for Brighton in midweek and will hope to add to a superb haul of six goals against his former employers since his 2014 move to Arsenal. Tariq Lamptey and captain Lewis Dunk were also back into the fray at Portman Road and could both start.
Long-term absentees Igor and Ferdi Kadioglu remain sidelined, with Brajan Gruda and Mats Wieffer doubtful, although Evan Ferguson and Jack Hinshelwood are back in training
Brighton predicted starting lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Lamptey, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan — Baleba, O’Riley — Adingra, Rutter, Mitoma — Welbeck
Injured: Igor (hamstring), Kadioglu (ankle), Gruda, Wieffer (thigh), Milner (thigh)
Suspended: None
Man United vs. Brighton Prediction

The Red Devils seem to be finally building momentum under Amorim, however, Brighton are no pushovers and will be a tough side to overcome. This game is likely to end in a stalemate with spoils shared.
