What time is kick-off?

The match kicks off at 2:00pm in the UK, which is 6:00am Pacific Time and 9:00am Eastern Time. It is set to be played at Old Trafford, where Manchester United last played against struggling Southampton. Amorim will be expecting a much sterner test this time around with Brighton having plenty of threats, particularly in forward areas. Joao Pedro is one to watch out for.

Is the match on TV?

Yes, it is, in the US. In the UK, the match will not be shown. Sky Sports has taken the Everton vs Tottenham game. Manchester United vs Brighton is on Sunday because the Seagulls played Ipswich Town on Thursday, so it couldn't be Saturday. Nottingham Forest vs Southampton is the same. In the US, the game is live on Peacock, where it can also be streamed.

Early team news

For Manchester United, Mason Mount (thigh), Luke Shaw (foot), Victor Lindelof (unspecified) and Jonny Evans (muscular) are all set to be missing. Aside from that, Amorim has a full roster to choose from.

Brighton has a lengthier absence list. Brajan Gruda (knock), Igor Julio (hamstring), James Milner (thigh), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe) and Mats Wieffer (knock) are all set to be out. Evan Ferguson (ankle), Jack Hinshelwood (knee) and Diego Gomez might also be missing.

Manchester United will honor the memory of iconic striker Denis Law, following the sad news of his death at the age of 84. He scored 237 goals in 404 appearances during 11 years with the Red Devils, placing him only behind Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton in the club’s all-time top goalscorers.
