Yves Bissouma serves the second game of his three-match suspension.

Christian Walton, Jose Izquierdo and Florin Andone remain out injured.

For United, they have no fresh injury concerns and will recall their first-team players after making wholesale changes for their cup clash in midweek.

United's only absentees are defenders Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones.

Summer signing Donny van de Beek will be pushing for his first Premier League start.

Brighton v Manchester United: What has been said?

Brighton boss Graham Potter: "Manchester United were probably the best team at that point [in their 3-0 win in Sussex in June], really, really strong.

"It was a difficult night but Solskjaer's that type of character that doesn't get too excited when things go really well and doesn't get too down when things go not so well.

"He's quite consistent in his behaviour and does his best, works hard and waits for the next opportunity."

He added: "The players are in a good place, working for each other," he said.

"The understanding of what we're trying to do is developing, so that's pleasing.

"At the same time, we know how football is. There are challenges around the corner and things can quickly turn around so just try and keep as level as possible and look forward to the next match."

Brighton v Manchester United: Match stats and facts

Brighton have won three of their last four home league games against Manchester United, though they did lose this exact fixture 0-3 last season.

Manchester United have won each of the last three Premier League meetings with Brighton - of all current top-flight sides, only against Leicester (4) are the Red Devils on a longer current winning run.

Brighton have won two of their last three Premier League games (L1), as many as they had in their previous 17 (D9 L6). The Seagulls are looking to pick up back-to-back league wins for the first time since November 2019.

Brighton have won just one of their 10 Premier League home games so far in 2020 (D4 L5), beating Arsenal 2-1 in June. The Seagulls have lost four of their last five at the Amex Stadium (D1), shipping at least three goals in each defeat.

Manchester United haven't lost both of their opening two games in a Premier League season since the inaugural campaign in 1992-93 (1-2 vs Sheffield United, 0-3 vs Everton), when they went on to lift the title.

Manchester United have won their last four Premier League away games by an aggregate score of 10-0. The last Premier League team to win five consecutive away games without conceding were Manchester United themselves in December 2011.

Manchester United haven't won their first away league game in either of the last two seasons (D1 L1), including a 2-3 loss at Brighton in 2018-19.

Neal Maupay was involved in all three of Brighton's goals in their 3-0 win against Newcastle last weekend (2 goals, 1 assist); the Frenchman hadn't scored or assisted more than one goal in a game in any of his previous 38 appearances in the competition.

Pascal Groß has either scored (3) or assisted (1) in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Manchester United, scoring the winning goal in both of Brighton's victories against the Red Devils in the competition.

Against Crystal Palace in their opening match, Bruno Fernandes had the joint-most shots (3), most chances created (5), most touches (123), most passes (94) and open play crosses (6) of any Manchester United player.

Brighton will be looking to continue their good form this weekend and inflict more pain on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United.
