While it is tempting to look at Manchester United and say they will win, I do not think that their defense is up to the task yet. The Manchester United club has not shown up good defensively at all and that will carry over to the game here. Granted, Brighton does not have as strong of an offense as Palace, but the Brighton club is coming off of a good win in the game against Newcastle and that will definitely help the Brighton club here as they are able to win again, but look for the game to be on the under.
