Brighton Stats & Team News

There is still a job to do for Fabian Hürzeler and his Brighton players this weekend, as a win will secure just their second-ever season in Europe. Their momentum has been halted in recent weeks, losing two of their previous three, and winning just twice across their last five.

However, their reliable home record has been eye-catching this season, winning nine of their 18 at the Amex, and suffering defeats in just 17% of their home fixtures. Danny Welbeck has enjoyed an excellent campaign, and he will be looking to add to his haul of 13 league goals against his boyhood club on Sunday. Kaoru Mitoma and Adam Webster will be missing due to injury.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Vebruggen (GK); Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, De Cuyper; March, Gross; Minteh, Hinshelwood, Rutter; Welbeck

Man United Stats & Team News

Michael Carrick’s job as interim boss is done, as Man United will be playing Champions League soccer next season. Such has been the improvement under Carrick, it is expected that the former Red Devils star will be handed the permanent role before Sunday’s fixture at the Amex.

United have been in excellent recent form, winning four of their last five, and scoring at least once in all but one of their fixtures in 2026. Matheus Cunha has thrived under Carrick, with the Brazilian scoring three in his last five. Bruno Fernandes will have his sights on the outright EPL assists record. Benjamin Sesko and Matthijs de Ligt will miss out due to injury.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Yoro, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Dorgu; Cunha
