Big changes for the visitors as Alexis Sanchez is conspicuous by his absence. The Chilean isn’t even on the bench for United.
Romelu Lukaku leads the line in a 4-3-3, flanked by Juan Mata and Anthony Martial while Paul Pogba has Andreas Pereira and Fred for company in midfield.
Luke Shaw retains his place at left-back while Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof continue their central defensive pairing and it’s a first start of the season for Ashley Young at right-back.

David de Gea mans the goal for the visitors.
Despite losing here last season, United are favourites to secure three points and despite the loss of Sanchez, will be expected to keep their winning start to the season alive.
The Seagulls, however, will not make life easy for their illustrious neighbours and will be backing themselves to script another upset.
Brighton & Hove Albion: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Dunk (C), Bong, Knockaert, Stephens, Propper, March, Gross and Murray.
Manchester United: De Gea, Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Young, Pogba (C), Pereira, Fred, Martial, Lukaku and Mata.
