Manchester United

DWDWWL

Manchester United won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 3-1 FA Cup loss in their previous game against Leicester City.

In that game, Manchester United managed 52% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Manchester United was Mason Greenwood (38'). For their opponents, Leicester City had 11 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Kelechi Iheanacho (24', 78') and Youri Tielemans (52') scored for Leicester City.

Their most recent results highlight the fact that things are going according to plan in the Manchester United defence. The Red Devils have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last 6 matches standing at 4. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen whether that pattern might be maintained in this match.

Brighton & Hove Albion
