How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Manchester United

Well organised and hard to play through, Man Utd usually earn results at Old Trafford by winning the midfield battle.

Away

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton combine structure with enough quality in the final third to punish mistakes on their trip to Old Trafford. Midfield control is their foundation.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Man Utd name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Brighton score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
