Brighton vs Manchester United bet builder tips
Both teams to score
In line with our score prediction of 2-2, we are backing both teams to find the net on the South Coast in what should be an entertaining game.
That has been the case for five of the last six meetings between the pair, with six goals scored in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford - a 4-2 victory for United. What's more, both teams have scored in a huge 72% of United's games this season, making it an easy pick for our bet builder.
Bruno Fernandes to provide 1+ assists
United may have achieved their goals for the season, but club captain Bruno Fernandes still has an individual target to aim for as he looks to set a new Premier League record for most assists in a single season.
The Portugal midfielder, who will jet off for the World Cup next month, equalled Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne's record with his 20th last week, meaning just one more would see him claim the record outright. Fernandes remains the hub of United's team, so we're tipping him to grab one more and secure the accolade.
Danny Welbeck to have a shot on target
Danny Welbeck will not be at the World Cup this summer after missing out on the England squad - but he can still end an impressive season on a high against his former club Man Utd.
The 35-year-old is in line to make his 400th Premier League appearance on Sunday and has scored more goals against United (eight) than he has against any other team. We're tipping the veteran striker to at least test the goalkeeper with a shot on target.
Brighton to win or draw
Finally, we're tipping a Brighton win or draw in a double-chance bet as they look to secure European football next season at least. Despite losing earlier this season, the Seagulls have a superb record against United - including a 2-1 win in the FA Cup in January.
In fact, Brighton have the best win percentage against United out of all sides in Premier League history, both overall (47% - eight wins from 17) and at home (63% - five wins from eight). With much more on the line for Fabian Hurzeler's side, we can see United dropping points on the final day.
