Manchester United FC face Brighton and Hove Albion away in their quest to a top-4 finish in the Premier League. With their win against Norwich in the FA Cup, United have extended their unbeaten streak to 14 games. But, Brighton will not be easy to beat as they have defeated Arsenal and have drawn with Leicester after the break.
The Red Devils will look to resume their success in the Premier League but will face a difficult task on their hands. Brighton will sit back and defend in a low-block and soak up the pressure. When they get a chance they will hit on the counter with Neal Maupay.
The last time these two clubs locked horns in the Premier League, the Red Devils came out victorious. Andreas Pereira, Mctominay and Rashford were all on the score sheet as United beat Brighton 3-1 at Old Trafford. Brighton center-back Lewis Dunk scored the only goal for his team, even if Brighton surprisingly had more possession of the ball.

TEAM NEWS
The Red Devils players will be tired after their game away at Carrow Road as United beat Norwich in extra-time. Bruno Fernandes already looked tired in that match, but he will be expected to play on Wednesday. The Red Devils will probably line-up in the same way as they did against Sheffield, and will attack from the onset.
Brighton, on the other hand, have got a substantial break for a week amidst the chaos after the pandemic break. Their players will be fit and ready for the challenge against Solskjaer’s United. Brighton center-back Webster got subbed off against Leicester City because of an ankle injury and might not feature against United.
But United, especially with the form they are in, are expected to win against Brighton. With Pogba and Fernandes creating magic in the midfield and Martial being amongst goals, it will be difficult to stop them. It will be a match where United will dominate possession and Brighton will look to exploit on the counter.
