Manchester United face Crystal Palace at home for the second time in five days, after winning 3-0 in the League Cup on Tuesday.

United are hoping to make it three consecutive home wins against Palace in all competitions.

However, Palace are unbeaten in their previous three Premier League visits to Old Trafford under Roy Hodgson, winning the last two.

Hodgson could become the second visiting manager to win three successive Premier League matches at Old Trafford, emulating Pep Guardiola with Manchester City between 2016 and 2019.

Everton left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko will be assessed after he was forced off at half-time during Wednesday's League Cup win at Aston Villa.

Seamus Coleman, Andre Gomes and Dele Alli remain out.

Luton midfielder Ross Barkley has trained for the last two days but will not feature against his former club.

Tom Lockyer is available after undergoing a scan on an unspecified issue earlier this week.

Aston Villa have earned four successive Premier League wins in this fixture, scoring twice in each match.

Brighton's only competitive away victory in 15 attempts against Villa was by 2-1 in the Premier League in November 2020 (D3, L11).

Ollie Watkins has scored in each of his last three appearances against Brighton.

Danny Welbeck has scored in each of his last three league appearances at Villa Park, for three different clubs: Manchester United, Arsenal, Brighton.

It is two wins on the bounce now for Everton and I loved how Sean Dyche approached their Carabao Cup tie with Aston Villa in midweek - he picked a strong team, and he got his reward.

Last weekend's win at Brentford was a huge result for the Toffees to kick-start their season and Dyche wanted to maintain their momentum at Villa - and now that confidence will carry on into this game too.

Luton did things differently with their tie against League One side Exeter - they made 10 changes, and lost.

At least the Hatters are off the mark in the Premier League after picking up a point against Wolves last time out, but their wait for a first win goes on.

I can't see them getting anything at Goodison Park, to be honest. Their gameplan will be to frustrate Everton, but Dyche has options up front now Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit and in form. He could even play Beto alongside him too.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Wolves will be without suspended midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, while loanee Tommy Doyle is ineligible to face his parent club.

Otherwise, manager Gary O'Neil has a fully-fit squad at his disposal.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri serves the second game of a three-match ban.

Bernardo Silva and John Stones are close to returning from respective leg and muscle issues, while Kevin de Bruyne remains City's only long-term absentee.

Brighton's next four games after this:

Marseille (away).

Liverpool (home).

Manchester City (away).

Ajax (home).

What a time to be a Seagulls fan.

There will be a lot of Brighton fans who will have seen days that weren't as rosy as they are now. It's about enjoying these occasions. Their next four games after this won't define the season but they could wobble the ship a little bit.

Bournemouth will make a late decision on the fitness of Dominic Solanke, who injured his ankle in midweek.

Chris Mepham, Lloyd Kelly, Alex Scott and Emiliano Marcondes are still absent but fit-again summer signing Tyler Adams might make his league debut.

Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba and Fabio Vieira are all injury doubts for Arsenal.

They remain without Thomas Partey and long-term absentee Jurrien Timber.

What Roberto de Zerbi has come into is a very stable environment. The recruitment has been wonderful and that has helped him.

By the way, hasn't he done well taking Brighton forward? It's interesting he has the audacity to keep changing the players every week and he keeps getting results. The belief inside the club must be incredible.

Sheffield United will want to forget their 8-0 defeat by Newcastle in their last outing as quick as possible.

It was a disaster for Paul Heckinbottom's side and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has now let in a joint-record 17 goals in his first six Premier League starts.

Only one side in Premier League history has lost by eight or more goals and then won their next game - Wigan lost 9-1 to Spurs in 2009 but then beat Sunderland 1-0.

It is possible!

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez faces an absence of at least two months because of a foot issue.

Sergio Reguilon is also out with a muscle injury, meaning that Sofyan Amrabat is likely to continue in an unfamiliar left-back role.

Midfielders Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are in the squad after illness but winger Antony will not be involved despite returning to training.

Crystal Palace forward Odsonne Edouard remains out with a hamstring strain.

Dean Henderson and Jairo Riedewald both suffered injuries during the Carabao Cup defeat at Old Trafford on Tuesday and join the likes of Jefferson Lerma and Michael Olise on an extensive list of absentees.

This is a difficult one to call because of the way Aston Villa play under Unai Emery. They are always so disciplined.

Villa are at home and the onus is on them to take the game to Brighton, but I don't think that will happen because Emery is a stickler for keeping things tight.

He did the double over the Seagulls last season.

It will be interesting to see the way Villa go about it this time, but we know what usually happens when teams really go at Brighton and I don't see Emery doing that.

I still think there will be goals, because I am expecting Brighton to take their chances, but Villa are a well-balanced team and they should get something here.

Sutton's prediction: 2-2

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil makes a fair point when he calls for patience, but he must know that at least a section of the supporters are not in a generous mood.

The next few weeks are going to be a test of nerve, for the board as much as for the players and coach.

West Ham have no fresh injury concerns ahead of David Moyes' 900th league game in management.

Aaron Cresswell is nursing a hamstring problem and remains unavailable.

Sheffield United forward Oli McBurnie returns from suspension, while Gustavo Hamer has overcome the injury he sustained during last weekend's 8-0 defeat by Newcastle.

Midfielder John Fleck is back in training after suffering a broken leg in pre-season.

Manchester City have won the past six Premier League meetings, scoring 19 goals and conceding just three.

Wolves have won just four of their 22 games against City this century (D3, L15). Three of those four victories have come at Molineux.

Pep Guardiola's side won both games 3-0 last season, with Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scoring in their last trip to Molineux in September 2022.

Big day for young Jack Hinshelwood who makes his first Premier League start for Brighton.

The 18-year-old midfielder comes from a long line of footballers, including his dad Adam, who made 100 league appearances for the club during the Withdean era, before turning to coaching and management.

Jack’s great grandfather Wally played for Fulham, Chelsea, Reading and Bristol City. Wally’s sons Paul and Martin both played for Crystal Palace, with Martin going on to coach and manage the Albion.

Martin’s son Danny, who is Jack’s uncle, also played for Albion and Portsmouth.
