Manchester United started the season by beating Leicester 2 goals to one and would be looking to build on this momentum as they prepare to travel to Brighton.
Brighton on the other hand lost their opening match by 2 goals to nil when they travelled to Watford.
This is however their first home game of the season and they would be looking to impress in front of their fans.
With last season upset at Brighton still fresh in Jose Mourinho’s mind when they lost by two goals to one, he said the following during his pre match interview.

The boss on @DarmianOfficial: "He's always an option for us, he's always a reliable player. He's a fantastic professional. He's a guy that is loved in the group, so, for me in the end it's good news if Matteo is not leaving." #MUFC pic.twitter.com/Z9mZhGrY2w
