Here’s our Manchester United Vs Brighton preview, prediction, team news and confirmed lineups ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United Vs Brighton FC Preview<\/b><\/h2>\n

United host Brighton<\/a> after a remarkable late turnaround against Southampton in midweek.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim’s side trailed the Premier League’s bottom club after an own goal from Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n

But Amad Diallo continued his blistering form to score a hat-trick in the final ten minutes, earning United a 3-1 win at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils also knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup<\/a> on penalties last weekend, after drawing 2-2 with Liverpool<\/a> at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Things are far from perfect under the new Portuguese boss, but Amorim is slowly building a sense of identity into this United team.<\/p>\n

Up against them on Sunday are Brighton, who are unbeaten in six across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls won their own FA Cup third round tie 4-0 at Championship club Norwich City.<\/p>\n

Their last defeat was a 3-1 loss at home to Crystal Palace<\/a> in the Premier League on 15 December.<\/p>\n

Fabian Hurzeler’s men sit ninth in the table, five points and three places above United in 12th.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Vs Brighton FC Team News<\/b><\/h2>\n

Diogo Dalot is a welcome boost for United. He returns from suspension after his red card against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

As a result, Diallo could be pushed further forward after his hat-trick heroics on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Luke Shaw is still out, though apparently close to a return. He joins\u00a0Victor Lindelof (unspecified), Jonny Evans (muscle) and Mason Mount (thigh) on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

A poor show from the Red Devils against Southampton<\/a> until Amad’s late treble means several midweek replacements could be in line for a start.<\/p>\n

Joshua Zirkzee in particular impressed when he came off the bench.<\/p>\n

For Brighton, they have been buoyed by the return of Rutter, Tariq Lamptey, Joao Pedro and Yankuba Minteh who all featured against Ipswich last time out.<\/p>\n

It’s thought that Igor Julio (knee), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), James Milner (thigh) and Mats Wieffer (thigh) are all going to be out for the weekend, though.<\/p>\n

There will also be late assessments for new arrival Diego Gomez, as well as\u00a0Evan Ferguson (ankle) and Jack Hinshelwood (knee).<\/p>\n

Former United striker Danny Welbeck may start against his old club if Pedro is not deemed fit enough to feature from the outset.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Vs Brighton FC Confirmed Lineups<\/b><\/h2>\n

Manchester United: <\/b>Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Zirkzee<\/p>\n

Brighton: <\/b>Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck<\/p>\n

Manchester United Vs Brighton FC Prediction<\/b><\/h2>\n

Brighton are in fine form and will be encouraged by United’s mostly woeful display against Southampton.<\/p>\n

But having outplayed Liverpool and Arsenal in recent weeks, we think Thursday’s shocker was an anomaly.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim will not allow is side to play as poorly twice in a row, though Brighton have every chance of nicking this one if United do repeat their midweek form.<\/p>\n
