United came out on top in that FA Cup semi-final clash, with Victor Lindelof netting the winning penalty in the shootout after it finished goalless after 120 minutes, and revenge will be on the mind for Brighton.
European football is still very much on the cards for the Seagulls, who will move eight points behind United in fourth with a game in hand should they win this Premier League encounter. Erik ten Hag’s side meanwhile will be looking to seal a top-four spot as soon as possible.

Brighton vs Man United team news
It should be a case of key players returning for Brighton, with Karou Mitoma, Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister all named on the bench against Wolves but the trio are expected to start on Thursday night.
Joel Veltman limped off in that match and is a doubt as a result, while Adam Lallana and Tariq Lamptey are among those who remain on the sidelines.
With Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez out, Luke Shaw is expected to continue at centre-back and keep Harry Maguire out of the side, with Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka battling for the right-back spot.
Alejandro Garnacho is nearing a return to the first-team squad, while Bruno Fernandes should start again despite continuing to manage an ankle issue.

It was tight when these sides met in the FA Cup semi-final last month, while the Seagulls have won the last two League meetings between the two sides.
Brighton hammered Wolves last time out, even when rotating some of their key players, and they have lost just once at home since the year of the year. Man United have not been entirely convincing in recent weeks, and could well come unstuck here.
