Team news and stats ahead of Brighton vs Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday (kick-off 12.30pm).

Team news

Brighton boss Graham Potter will be forced into a midfield change for Saturday's visit of Manchester United as Yves Bissouma is banned following his red card at Newcastle.

Adam Lallana and Davy Propper have been building their fitness following injury issues and could be in contention to replace Bissouma but fellow midfielder Dale Stephens was this week allowed to join Premier League rivals Burnley.

Full-back Tariq Lamptey has shaken off a knock sustained at St James' Park. Seagulls goalkeeper Christian Walton (ankle) and long-term absentees Florin Andone and Jose Izquierdo remain unavailable.
