Brighton and Hove Albion finished 15th in their first season in the Premier League and were seven points above the relegation zone. It was their home form that kept them out of the bottom three with seven wins, eight draws and only four defeats. They will need to maintain that home form if they don't improve on just 11 points away from home last season, the worst record in the division. Brighton have made several signings during the summer including Iranian striker Alireza Jahanbakhsh. They still look a team that will struggle and lost their opening game away to Watford and in their first seven games have to play last season's top four, so look for them to be down the bottom of the table.

Manchester United lost at Brighton last season but it was an end of season game just before the FA Cup final and they'd already beaten them twice at Old Trafford. There was plenty of moaning by Mourinho before the season began, but he was impressed with the way his side beat Leicester City in their opening fixture. Fred in particular looks a good signing and with Pogba still in impressive form, United should be able to boss midfield and get a win in this match.
