Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton's thrashing of Wolves was so nearly the perfect day for the travelling crowd, but Enock Mwepu's injury put a slight dampener on the celebrations after the Zambia international was forced off with a groin problem.
Mwepu's injury could now spell the end of his season, but Adam Lallana and Pascal Gross are both ready to deputise, while Jakub Moder remains out and Jeremy Sarmiento is still out with a hamstring problem.
Potter may be tempted to make only the one enforced change this weekend following Mwepu's injury but should largely stick with the XI that saw off Wolves in convincing fashion, with ex-Red Devil Danny Welbeck getting the nod over Neal Maupay to line up against his old club.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella; March, Bissouma, Caicedo, Trossard; Gross, Mac Allister; Welbeck
Manchester United
In contrast, Man United did not pick up any fresh concerns in Monday's game, but there are fears that Jadon Sancho (tonsillitis) could now miss the rest of the season alongside Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw. Marcus Rashford and Eric Bailly will also miss the game with bronchitis and a back injury respectively.
On a brighter note, Harry Maguire is back from his knee problem, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could also overcome a knock in time for Saturday's game but is unlikely to displace Diogo Dalot.
Juan Mata and Phil Jones were both given their Old Trafford swansongs against Brentford, and the former may even keep his place in the starting lineup, but Fred's availability could see Nemanja Matic return to the substitutes bench.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Elanga, Mata, Fernandes; Ronaldo
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Manchester United
