Don't Miss Man Utd vs. Brighton: Your Complete Viewing Guide for TV and Live Streaming
One of Manchester United or Brighton & Hove Albion will see their FA Cup journey conclude at the opening stage.
Every Premier League club has joined the tournament at round three, but a clash between two teams from the division's top 11 ensures an early elimination for one side. Both Manchester United and Brighton recognize that the FA Cup represents their sole opportunity for silverware this campaign.
The latest FA Cup encounter between these clubs took place at the semi-final level in 2022–23, when United edged past the Seagulls via a penalty shootout at Wembley Stadium. Brighton may well harbor thoughts of payback come Sunday.
The visitors will also be looking to make amends for their 4–2 loss at Old Trafford in October—an uncommon setback for Brighton at this venue in recent years. Fabian Hürzeler's squad will sense the instability surrounding Manchester, with Ruben Amorim's recent departure and Darren Fletcher's temporary appointment creating turmoil.
Considering these factors, here's your guide to following the FA Cup clash at Old Trafford.
