Manchester United will be looking to take another giant stride towards securing a top-four finish when they travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday evening.
United, who were beaten 2-1 by the Seagulls in the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season back in August, will be hoping to build on Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa and stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches. The win over Villa kept the Reds hot on the heels of Newcastle United, who they could leapfrog in the table with a win over Roberto De Zerbi's side.
United are currently fourth in the standings on 63 points, meaning moving to within four points of 70 would all but seal Champions League qualification for next season, as the number of games for those beneath them in the table continue to run out.
