Both teams to score

Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine matches involving Manchester United. Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between the two sides.

Bruno Fernandes to score or assist

Bruno Fernandes announced his return to the Manchester United squad with an assist away at Turf Moor, in what was a positive showing for the 60 minutes he played on Wednesday. The Manchester United captain has provided 13 goal contributions (5 goals and 8 assists) in 18 Premier League matches for the Red Devils.

Pascal Gross to score or assist

Pascal Groß's return to Brighton & Hove Albion could be a blessing, given his tremendous record against Manchester United for the Seagulls. Pascal Groß has played 15 times against the Red Devils, scoring seven and assisting twice before his move to Borussia Dortmund.

Luke Shaw: 2 + Fouls

Luke Shaw has committed two or more fouls in three of his last five appearances for Manchester United, and in the Premier League, he has averaged 2.1 tackles per game.

Lewis Dunk: 2 + Fouls

Lewis Dunk has been booked eight times in the Premier League this season, and against Manchester United, he has received four bookings (three yellows & one red) in his 11 appearances against the Red Devils. Dunk averages just over a tackle per game and will likely be dealt with the task of dealing with Benjamin Sesko, who drew a foul from the Brighton defence the last time these two met in the Premier League.
