Manchester United will look to build momentum as they take on Fabian Hurzeler’s tricky Brighton side at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United are riding high after back-to-back Premier League wins, including a dramatic victory over Liverpool, suggesting that Ruben Amorim’s methods are finally clicking. The Red Devils will be hoping for another masterclass from their in-form attackers like Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.

Brighton, who sit just one point behind United, have proven to be a bogey team, winning on their last three visits to Old Trafford. Their free-flowing style under Hurzeler remains a threat, particularly from former United star Danny Welbeck, who has scored four goals in his last three league games.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

United are hoping to maintain their winning run, though Amorim has some decisions to make regarding his lineup. Defender Lisandro Martinez is unlikely to feature as the match comes too soon for his return from a serious knee injury sustained in February.

There are tactical debates across the backline, where Leny Yoro is pushing for a recall at centre-back. Amorim must also choose between sticking with Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot as wing-backs or bringing Patrick Dorgu into the mix on the left. In attack, Benjamin Sesko—who was benched last time out despite scoring in the two prior games—is expected to return to the starting XI to partner Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the latter of whom enjoys playing against Brighton.

Manchester United predicted XI (3-4-3, right to left): Lammens (GK) — De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw — Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot — Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko

Injured: Martinez (likely out)
Suspended: None

Brighton have a lengthy list of absentees and doubts. They are definitely without Solly March and Adam Webster (both knee), and Jack Hinshelwood (ankle). Furthermore, Kaoru Mitoma (ankle), Joel Veltman (calf), Diego Gomez (hip) and Brajan Gruda (knee) all face late fitness tests.

The midfield will likely see Carlos Baleba, heavily linked with their opponents, battling for a starting place. In defence, Maxim De Cuyper will challenge Ferdi Kadioglu at left-back, but De Cuyper could be deployed further forward if the injury doubts to Mitoma or Gomez rule them out. Veteran striker Danny Welbeck, in superb form, is expected to lead the line alongside Georginio Rutter and Yankuba Minteh.

Brighton & Hove Albion predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu — Baleba, Ayari, Rutter — Minteh, Welbeck, De Cuyper

Injured: March, Webster, Hinshelwood, Mitoma (doubt), Veltman (doubt), Gomez (doubt), Gruda (doubt)
Suspended: None
