TEAM NEWS
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is a doubt after sustaining a foot injury in the Europa League win against Partizan Belgrade.
Harry Maguire will also be assessed while Victor Lindelof may return from a back injury, but Ashley Young is suspended.
Brighton defender Adam Webster has been ruled out after being substituted last weekend with an ankle injury.
Leandro Trossard could start after scoring as a substitute versus Norwich.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Conor McNamara: The last time Manchester United started a league season this badly was 33 years ago under Ron Atkinson. Patience ran out in November that year when Aberdeen's Alex Ferguson was appointed. The rest is Old Trafford history.
United started with a front three on Thursday and each of Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford scored. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must hope that scoring touch can be transferred to the league.
Brighton have found a new groove in recent weeks, with three wins in their last four games. Those victories, though, have all come at home… and Brighton have never won at Old Trafford.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the Europa League win: "This is a little bit of a template on how we want to play, definitely.
"No disrespect to Partizan, but they gave us spaces. Of course after we scored the first goal, they went forward.
"These boys are learning. Tonight will give them loads of pointers of how to play. Even though the opposition is not the same as in the Premier League, it was still good principles."
Graham Potter: "It would be great to get a result this weekend at one of the best places in world football.
"Their quality is undoubted and we respect that - but we want to go there and be ourselves and take on the challenge in a positive way."
