Manchester United vs Brighton prediction: Odds and form as Marcus Rashford tipped to sparkle

Thursday night was comfortable, but Manchester United need more of the same in the Premier League, to overhaul a Brighton team who are currently two points above them in the table.

Will they make it back to back wins? We asked our Old Trafford expert Charlotte Duncker for her verdict.

Win, lose or draw?

Win. United need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after a disappointing result last time out against Bournemouth but it's not going to be easy against a side who have had a pretty positive start to the season. A tight game but United to win by a goal. 2-1. The home win is 1/2 with thepools.com but if you fancy that 2-1 correct score prediction that's an very big 8/1 .

First goalscorer?

Marcus Rashford. He's already reached half his goal scoring tally from last season in the league and that's with a period of being out of form. He's 10/3 to score first and 6/5 to score at any time.

Who's on the naughty step?

Fred. He's already picked up two in seven appearances in the league and only four of those have been starts.

Who's on pens?

Rashford. Was on target against Chelsea and should stick with penalty duty. See above ....

Will United  keep a clean sheet? 

No. Which makes Both Teams To Score an excellent 21/20 tip . Even better, Both Teams To Score and Either Side To win is a big 15/8.
