Brighton vs Man United team news and preview

There's an intriguing Premier League encounter in store today as European hopefuls Brighton take on fourth-placed Manchester United at the Amex Stadium.

Currently in eighth position, but with a number of games in hand over their top six rivals, a victory for the Seagulls would see them clock up three league wins in a row against Manchester United for the first time.

A draw would meanwhile see them surpass their club record of 52 points in a top-flight season, which was set way back in the 1981-82 campaign.

There's also the added incentive for the hosts to claim revenge for last month's FA Cup semi-final defeat to United in a tense penalty shoot out – a close encounter which indicates just how little there's likely to be to separate these two sides tonight.

United come into the match having beaten in-form Aston Villa at the weekend – a result that leaves them just two points behind third-placed Newcastle in the table – and has strengthened their hold on a Champions League qualification spot.

The team sheets are in and Brighton have made four changes from the side that trouncedd Wolves 6-0 at the weekend with Alexis Mac Allister, Facundo Buonanotte, Moises Caicedo, and Kaoru Mitoma coming in for Joel Veltman, Pascal Gross, Deniz Undav and Solly March.

United have also made the same number of changes, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Antony and and Anthony Martial all starting, while Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Marcel Sabitzer all drop to the subs bench.
