Manchester United vs Brighton: The Red Devils faces the Seagulls at Old Trafford on Saturday, September 16 with kickoff at 7:30 PM IST
While Manchester United are in 11th place at this early stage of the season, Brighton are in the top six and only three points behind league leaders Manchester City.

After losing at Arsenal late on at the Emirates at the start of August, Man Utd have seen a public spat between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag, the postponement of Antony's return to the club from Brazil duty due to assault allegations and rumours of showdown talks between Ten Hag and Andre Onana over the latter's decision to start playing for Cameroon again.
Things are a lot more settled at Brighton, who enjoyed a superb 3-1 win over Newcastle before the break in which Evan Ferguson scored a hat-trick.
Manchester United will be without Jadon Sancho, who is training away from the first team, and Antony, who is dealing with allegations of being violent against women.
Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are fit, but Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Raphael Varane will miss out.
Manchester United lineup vs Brighton (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Brighton lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Gilmour; March, Joao Pedro, Mitoma; Ferguson
