Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton era began with a resounding 3-0 win away at Everton. Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck and Simon Adingra were on the score sheet as the Seagulls inflicted on Everton a third consecutive opening day loss in the English Premier League.
In their first home game of the season, they will face Manchester United who also got their campaign off to a bright start with a 1-0 win over Fulham. Brighton will be gunning for back to back premier league wins and maintain their 100% start to the season.
They will be bolstered by their impressive run of four wins out of their last 5 games against Manchester United.
For the Red Devils, debutant Joshua Zirkzee's 87th minute goal was enough to seal an opening day victory against Fulham at Old Trafford. That win gave United an incredible opening day record as they have now won more EPL opening fixtures than any other side.
On Saturday, Erik Ten Haag's men return to the Ammex, home of Brighton and Hove Albion, where they ended last season's campaign with a 2-0 victory. That win only earned United an 8th place finish, their worst in the Premier League era.
This time, they are looking to rebuild and contend for the title. To make this happen, winning games like this could be very crucial.

For Brighton, things are settling perfectly under Hurzeler, the youngest Manager in the Premier League at the moment. Getting a win Man United will maintain their 100% start to the season and end their run of four home losses out of the last five.
We expect them to pick up where they left off against Everton and put up a big fight against the Red Devils.
Although they have quite a number of injured players on their roster, we expect the Seagulls to have just about the right players to put up a huge fight against Manchester United.
James Milner appeared in his 23rd EPL season in Brighton's opening game against Everton. He now holds the record of the player with the highest number of season appearances in the league.
We expect him to be in the line up again on Saturday. His experience mixed with a combination of tactical acumen and youth vibrancy could make a huge difference for Brighton in this new season.

Manchester United will look to put behind them the wobbles of last season which saw them finish 8th on the log for the first time in the Premier League era. The FA Cup they won was not enough to save the team from heavy criticisms as the league title remains elusive.
This time, they are hoping to make a statement, challenge for the title and other trophies available. The journey continues on Saturday when they face Brighton under a new man, Fabian Hurzeler.
The Red Devils have lost 43% of their Premier League meetings with the Seagulls, their highest defeat percentage against any Premier League side.
They will be looking to put this poor record behind them and push for back to back wins in their first 2 games of the season for the first time since 2017/18 season.
We expect Ten Haag to stick to the starting 11 from the opening fixture against Fulham. Also, Joshua Zirkzee will be looking to continue his dream start to life in the EPL by being on the score sheet once again.
Meanwhile, Mathias De Ligt only made a cameo appearance in his debut last Friday as he came on in the second half for Harry Maguire. This time, we expect him to be in the starting line up and add to the solid back line that Ten Haag is trying to build.
Predicted Lineup: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo, Mount, Diallo, Rashford; Fernandes
Brighton's home game against Manchester United will certainly be a cracker. The desire of both teams to continue their winning start to the season and Man Utd's urge to halt their poor run against Brighton will make this tie as dramatic as past games between both sides.
3 of their last 4 meetings between both teams were low scoring games. Also, Manchester United won 2-0 in their last trip away to Brighton. Based on this and in addition to the first two tips given earlier, you can also go for Under 3.5 goals market in this game.
