Brighton & Hove Albion are aiming to recover from a 1-2 Premier League loss against Chelsea. In that match, they managed 54% possession and 11 shots on goal, with Danny Welbeck scoring for Brighton. However, they have not shown defensive strength in recent games, having seen their defense breached in five of their previous six matches, allowing 11 goals. This trend may not be sustained in this match.

Manchester United, who won 3-2 in the Premier League, will face Newcastle United in a match with a weakened defence. In the previous match, United had 45% possession and 17 attempts on goal, with goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, and Rasmus Højlund. Newcastle had 21 attempts and 8 on target, with goals from Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall. Manchester United has been scored against in six of their last six games.

Brighton and Manchester United have played four out of their past head-to-head meetings, with Brighton winning four and Manchester United drawing one. The two teams have scored an average of 2.33 goals per game. The previous match was on 16/09/2023, with Manchester United 1-3 Brighton & Hove Albion. Manchester United managed 44% possession and 14 shots at goal, while Brighton & Hove Albion had 10 shots and 8 on target. The referee was Jarred Gillett.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi will not have Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, and Evan Ferguson available for the game. The Seagulls are expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation with various players.

The Red Devils may start the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup featuring Andre Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Lisandro Martínez, Diogo Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, A. Matheus dos, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund.
