Learn how both teams are performing, their strengths, and what’s at stake in this match.
Manchester United comes into this match after a 3-1 victory over Southampton in the Premier League. This result provided some relief after a series of challenging games. However, prior to this win, the team showed clear inconsistencies. In the FA Cup, they drew 1-1 with Arsenal in a hard-fought match but let the opportunity slip in penalties. They also managed a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, where they displayed good moments but defensive lapses cost them dearly.
In previous encounters, they lost 2-0 to Newcastle, exposing issues in their buildup play. This defeat followed another loss to Wolves, where they struggled to create consistent attacking threats. Although they achieved significant wins, such as one against Manchester City a few matches ago, inconsistency remains Ruben Amorim's biggest challenge.
Brighton is riding a positive wave after a 2-0 win over Ipswich in their last league match. The team displayed defensive solidity and an organized attack, capitalizing on opportunities to secure the win. In the FA Cup, they dominated 4-0 against Norwich, showcasing their ability to decisively handle lower-tier opponents. However, in the league, they drew 1-1 with Arsenal, in a balanced match where they lacked precision in the final third to claim all three points.
Before these results, Fabian Hurzeler’s team recorded consecutive draws against Aston Villa and Brentford. These matches highlighted Brighton's strength in maintaining ball control but also revealed their struggles to finish tight games. Their most recent defeat came against Crystal Palace, where defensive errors left them unable to mount a comeback.
