The omens favour Brighton, who have won their past two home games against Manchester United, 1-0 at the Amex in May to secure their Premier League status and by the same margin, thanks to Peter Ward, in November 1982. The odds, however, remain very much in the favour of José Mourinho’s side and they should have Romelu Lukaku available after his World Cup exertions and Jesse Lingard is in the squad. Brighton will be without their captain Bruno, who injured a hamstring during the defeat at Watford, and are expected to make several changes. “If we look at our starting lineup last weekend we had one new player starting; others will be introduced over a period of time,” Chris Hughton said. With a trip to Liverpool coming up next week, they need to get some points on the board. Mark Tallentire
