Ruben Amorim makes two changes to the side that won at Liverpool.

Benjamin Sesko replaces Mason Mount, who drops to the bench. Leny Yoro comes in for Harry Maguire, who is not involved.

Amorim said on Friday Maguire had picked up a knock. He is replaced in the squad by Tyrrell Malacia, who is involved for the first time since being placed in the 'bomb squad' by Amorim at the start of pre-season training.

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.

Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Dorgu, Malacia, Ugarte, Heaven, Mount, Mainoo.

Danny Welbeck returns to his old club in form after scoring four goals in his last three games.

Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler brings in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gomez, the only change from the side that beat Newcastle.

The Seagulls have won on their last three visits to Old Trafford and six out of their last eight games against United.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu, Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Rutter, De Cuyper, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Tzimas, Watson, Kostoulas, Milner, Boscagli, Gomez, Coppola, Oriola.

United were lucky with their first goal against Liverpool last week because the game should have been stopped, and we've all seen the issues with the Liverpool backline this season too.

So, while I understand why any win for United against their rivals at Anfield is a massive result, it doesn't mean they have cracked it and turned a corner.

They have just managed back-to-back league wins for the first time since Ruben Amorim took charge last November, but I am not looking at them and thinking they will make it a hat-trick on Saturday.

Brighton striker Danny Welbeck impressed me when he came on the Monday Night Club this week and I am backing his boys here.

The Seagulls are always bold under Fabian Hurzeler and they will be fearless at Old Trafford too. I am backing Welbeck to get one of their goals, and haunt his former club.

It is down to United to prove me wrong, and show everyone they do have the consistency they have been lacking, and that may well be part of Amorim's team talk.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Manchester United seek to continue their winning run against Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United's late victory at bitter rivals Liverpool last weekend was undoubtedly one of the standout moments of Ruben Amorim's tenure as he approaches a year in charge of the club.

The result ended a near decade-long winless run at Anfield and brought about back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time under the Portuguese head coach - a statistic that match winner Harry Maguire labelled "embarrassing" in his post-match interview.

"The last three or four years we'd put in a performance like this and the following game we come down again," continued Maguire last Sunday. "We have to start putting a bit more consistency together."

Whisper it quietly, but United's home form is actually quite consistent. Their only home defeat this term was by a single goal to league leaders Arsenal on the opening weekend and they have since won their past three at Old Trafford, scoring two or more goals on each occasion.

The key to another positive result this weekend could well be forward Bryan Mbeumo, who found the net after just two minutes on Sunday and has a goal and an assist in his past two games.

The Cameroon international clearly enjoys facing Brighton and has been directly involved in six goals in his past four starts against the Seagulls.

Brighton are unbeaten in four top-flight matches - winning two and drawing two - and will be confident of extending that form, such is their recent dominance against United.

The Seagulls have triumphed in six of their past seven league fixtures against the Red Devils and could become the first Premier League club to win four in a row at Old Trafford.

The last team to triumph in more successive league matches at the famous stadium was Manchester City, who put together a run of five some 53 years ago.

However, if Fabian Hurzeler's side are to maintain their grip on this fixture then they will need to sharpen up at the back. They have kept just one clean sheet in their previous 20 Premier League games and that was in a 2-0 win at Wolves in May.

One possible reason for that might lie with the German head coach's inclination to tinker. The 32-year-old has overseen 55 Brighton matches across all competitions but he is yet to name an unchanged side.

Hurzeler must be tempted to stick with last weekend's starting XI after their 2-1 victory over Newcastle and one man who should keep his place is former United academy graduate Danny Welbeck.

The striker, who turns 35 next month, found the net twice last weekend and has four goals from his past three top-flight games. Welbeck has also scored six times against his former employers and those of a blue and white persuasion will hope he can add to that tally this weekend.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford (kick-off 17:30 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Midfielder Diego Gomez is available to start the game, while "one or two" of the injured trio of Karou Mitoma, Brajan Gruda and Joel Veltman may return to the matchday squad.

• On the importance of Mitoma in games such as Saturday's: "We will try everything to have him in the squad as he is a game-changer for us. If he is not available then we won't complain and we will find a solution. It might be a chance for Tom Watson or other wingers."

• Hurzeler said he is "very pleased to hear" that midfielder Carlos Baleba "feels like he is getting back to old" after a difficult start to the season. He added: "I saw him in training this week and it was impressive."

• On Baleba playing against United, who were widely linked with him in the summer: "It is the next step for his personality to overcome these rumours and noise. It is only noise that tries to distract him from trying to perform for Brighton and I am sure he is going to put in a good performance for us."

• He said United "are a danger for us" because "they play a more direct style" and "every player in the front can decide the game with one action". He added: "We have to stay alive for 90 minutes, whether that is in or out of possession."

• Jan Paul van Hecke "is going over the expectation" Hurzeler has of him and is giving "120%" in everything he does. Hurzeler added: "His effort is always above the things you can expect as a coach. He has a very straight and honest opinion, which I always like because it is powerful for the team."
