Brighton vs Man Utd Prediction and Predicted Lineups: Zirkzee set for full United debut?

 

The second round of Premier League games kick off on Saturday as Brighton welcome Manchester United to the Amex in the lunchtime kick off. 

 

Both Brighton and United claimed opening weekend wins over Everton and Fulham, respectively, and will seek another three points in the weekend's early showdown. 

 

Ahead of the clash on Saturday, we’ve made a prediction for the game, as well as providing our predicted line-ups for both teams.   

 

 

Could Dutch duo make their full debut this weekend? 

 

Manchester United have been active in the summer market, making no fewer than four signings. Noussair Mazraoui was solid on his full debut against Fulham last week, and it might be that fellow new arrivals Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt also make their first starts for Erik ten Hag's side. 

 

Zirkzee came off the bench to score the late winner against Fulham and he should be rewarded with a first start at Brighton. De Ligt also featured off the bench in the narrow win and may feature from the outset here. 

 

For Brighton, Yankuba Minteh is a doubt having come off early in the second half in the win at Everton, with Simon Adingra in line to replace the summer arrival here.
