Brighton vs Manchester United, Premier League: What time is kick-off today, what TV channel is it on and what is our prediction?
What is it?
A Premier League clash between Brighton and Manchester United at The Amex Stadium. Indeed, Brighton have a double-header with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in the coming days.
United visit the Amex in the Premier League on Saturday before returning to the south coast in midweek for a fourth-round contest in the League Cup.
When is it?
Today, so Saturday, September 26.
What time is kick-off?
12.30pm.
What TV channel is it on?
BT Sport 1 from 11.30am, BT Sport Extra and BT Sport Ultimate.
What is the team news?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that Eric Bailly could replace Victor Lindelof in Manchester United's defence at Brighton on Saturday as they look to bounce back from last weekend's 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Lindelof was singled out as being at fault for two of the Palace goals, but as Solskjaer played down suggestions United needed to strengthen in that department, he pointed to Bailly as the potential answer.
Tariq Lamptey is expected to be fit for Brighton despite limping off during the 3-0 win at Newcastle last weekend.
Yves Bissouma serves the second game of his three-match suspension.
What are they saying?
Football clubs in the Premier League and Championship are facing a combined hole in their accounts of more than £1 billion if crowds do not return before the end of the season, reveals Jeremy Wilson.
Although Manchester United face the biggest projected lost income, of £139.39 million, the club that is proportionately most impacted is Arsenal. This is because they derive significantly less income than United from commercial revenue streams but would still have expected to make £122.27 million from fans on matchdays. According to Arsenal’s most recent accounts for 2018-19, that matchday section of income amounted to almost a quarter of all revenue.

What's our prediction?
On paper, this should be a United win. They have the better players. However, they were woeful against Crystal Palace last weekend and confidence will be down, whereas Brighton recently picked up an impressive 3-0 win away to Newcastle.
