Manchester United are aiming for a third successive Premier League win when Brighton & Hove Albion come to Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim’s men followed up the 2-0 victory over Sunderland prior
to the international break by overcoming Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield.
United have won each of our three home fixtures after the luckless 1-0 reverse to Arsenal in the season opener but face another stern test against the in-form Seagulls.

Noussair Mazraoui and Ayden Heaven were fit enough to make the bench on Merseyside, despite being doubts, while Lisandro Martinez has not played yet this term as he recovers from a knee operation.
Amorim could be faced with a number of selection dilemmas, primarily whether to change a winning side or recall the likes of Leny Yoro or Benjamin Sesko, in particular.
Kaoru Mitoma is battling to be fit for the visitors, who will also check on Joel Veltman, Brajan Gruda and Diego Gomez.
Jack Hinshelwood, Solly March and Adam Webster are all unavailable for selection due to injury.
United are fourth in the form table over the last four games, with nine points, and are looking to kick on and build some real momentum.
Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton have failed to score in only two of their last 24 away league games and sit in 10th spot, with two wins from their last three outings, including a 2-1 triumph over Newcastle United on Saturday.
Remarkably, they have won on their previous three visits to Old Trafford and have become something of a bogey team for us in recent seasons.
