Manchester United are aiming for another South Coast side at Old Trafford when they host Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils recently staged a spectacular comeback against Southampton, winning 3-1 thanks to a brilliant performance from an Ivorian player. Meanwhile, the Seagulls secured a comfortable 2-0 victory away at Ipswich Town.
Latest Manchester United vs Brighton team news
Amorim will certainly have a quality addition for the match against Brighton, as Diogo Dalot returns from his suspension following his red card in the FA Cup match against Arsenal. This means that hat-trick hero Diallo could be deployed in a more advanced attacking position. Additionally, Luke Shaw is on his way back from a calf injury, however, the English defender will almost certainly be sidelined for this match along with Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, and Mason Mount.
The unconvincing performances of several Manchester United players midweek could lead to a squad rotation by Amorim, with quality reserves like Joshua Zirkzee and Christian Eriksen likely to be given a chance to play, following their impressive performances against Southampton. On Brighton's side, Hurzeler received good news with the return of Rutter, Tariq Lamptey, Joao Pedro, and Yankuba Minteh, all of whom have recovered in time for the away game against Ipswich. However, the Seagulls' squad is still facing a personnel crisis as Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, and Mats Wieffer are all unavailable for the Manchester match. Meanwhile, Evan Ferguson, Jack Hinshelwood, and new signing Diego Gomez are still racing against time to recover for this crucial game. The win against Ipswich also marked the return of Danny Welbeck, the former Manchester United striker, who made his first Premier League appearance since last December. Given his good form recently, Welbeck could replace Pedro if Hurzeler wants to be cautious about the Brazilian's situation.
Latest predicted lineups for MU vs Brighton

Latest Manchester United vs Brighton football match prediction
Amad Diallo shone brightly to save Manchester United against bottom-of-the-table Southampton. His goals prevented the Red Devils from suffering a humiliating defeat at Old Trafford.
Diallo became the second youngest player in Manchester United history to score a hat-trick in the Premier League, behind only Wayne Rooney. This victory helped Man United climb to 12th place in the table and they are closer to the top six. Amorim's team now has the opportunity to win three consecutive matches, something they haven't achieved since he took over.
However, despite the emotional victory against Southampton, their performance was largely disappointing. Manuel Ugarte's own goal extended their run of 11 clean sheets. Don't be surprised if Manchester United continue their slow start in the upcoming match, as their last 11 goals against Brighton have all come in the second half. While Man United struggled to secure the win, Brighton had a much easier game, beating Ipswich 2-0.
This victory marks Brighton's return to form after an eight-match winless streak in the Premier League, including six draws. With this recent unbeaten run, Brighton have climbed into the top half of the table, just four points behind sixth-placed Manchester City. Brighton's attack is also performing well away from home, having scored in all 11 of their away games this season. History is also on the side of the South Coast side, as they have won five of their last seven matches against Manchester United, including two consecutive victories at Old Trafford in the last two seasons.
