How both teams go into Man Utd vs Brighton
Man Utd were given a much-needed confidence boost with their 2-2 draw against leaders Liverpool last time out. The Red Devils took the lead shortly after half-time, before showing great resolve to salvage a 2-2 draw after going 2-1 behind. Even so, United are still five games without a win across all competitions and remain 13th in the table, just seven points clear of the relegation zone. Ruben Amorim’s men travel to Arsenal in the FA Cup and host Southampton in the Premier League before this match.
Brighton, meanwhile, are in real danger of seeing their season slip away from them. The Seagulls have lost just two of their last 10 matches, but only two of them have ended in victory, and they both came back-to-back at the very start of this run in November. That means Fabian Hurzeler’s men are eight without a win, drawing six during that time. Brighton are 10th in the table and only six points behind Man City in sixth, but must start converting stalemates into wins soon before they fade away. They face two trips to East Anglia against Norwich and Ipswich in the FA Cup and Premier League, respectively, before this match.
Man Utd team news
Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford should all be fit for this match, but the latter’s inclusion in the squad remains doubtful given the transfer speculation surrounding him right now.
Brighton team news
Danny Welbeck, Diego Gomez and James Milner will all be back for this match, while Jack Hinshelwood and Mats Wieffer should fit again in advance. However, Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu and Evan Ferguson won’t be back until next month at the earliest.
Man Utd vs Brighton head-to-head
As mentioned, Brighton have had Man Utd’s number in recent times, although the Red Devils did enjoy a 2-0 victory over the Seagulls back in May 2024.
