How to watch and follow Brighton v United

WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?

Bruno Fernandes is eligible for the fixture after missing the second leg of our Europa League quarter-final in Seville due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the competition.

United’s injury concerns have been eased with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Marcel Sabitzer and Marcus Rashford all returning to action in midweek against Sevilla. 

However, there are questions marks over Anthony Martial’s availability after the striker hobbled off in the second half at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Ten Hag may provide an update on the Frenchman’s availability – as well as the recently-absent Scott McTominay – in his pre-match press conference on Friday evening (17:00 BST). 

Harry Maguire will be unavailable, as he serves a one-game ban following an accumulation of yellow cards in the earlier rounds of the FA Cup. 

Tom Heaton, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Donny van de Beek and Alejandro Garancho remain out through their respective injuries.  

Despite question marks over the fitness of Jason Steele, Joel Veltman and Evan Ferguson, De Zerbi refused to rule the Brighton trio out of our semi-final in his pre-match press conference on Friday. Veltman and Ferguson were both forced off in the first half of the Seagulls’ victory at Stamford Bridge last Saturday.

Tariq Lamptey has been struggling with a knee problem, while Jeremy Sarmiento, Adam Lallana and Jakub Moder are longer-term absentees.
