Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be looking to make it seven consecutive wins since taking charge at Old Trafford, as Manchester United welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford’s goal, along with David de Gea’s brilliance, secured a win against Tottenham last week which moved United level on points with Arsenal in the table.

Brighton performed valiantly in last week’s loss against Liverpool, and the Seagulls are seven points clear of the relegation zone in 13th; they also memorably beat United 3-2 in August.
