How both teams go into Man Utd vs Brighton
Man Utd were given a much-needed confidence boost with their 3-1 win over Southampton last time out. The Red Devils needed a late hat trick from Amad Diallo to salvage the victory however. Even so, that was United’s first win in five games across all competitions and they remain 12th in the table, just 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
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. Brighton are ninth in the table and only four points behind Man City in sixth, but must start converting stalemates into wins soon before they fade away.

Brighton team news
