Match Facts

  • Brighton have the highest win rate against Manchester United of any side in Premier League history both overall (47% - 8/17) and at home (63% - 5/8).

  • Manchester United are looking to complete the double over Brighton for the first time since 2020-21, though they have lost six of their last eight league matches against the Seagulls (W2).

  • None of the 17 Premier League meetings between Brighton (8 wins) and Manchester United (9) have been drawn, the most played fixture in the competition to never finish level.

  • Brighton have lost their final league match in five of their eight seasons in the Premier League (W3), including a 2-0 home loss to Manchester United in 2023-24.

  • Only Arsenal (24) have won their final Premier League game of the season more often than Manchester United (23), while the Red Devils have lost the fewest final day games of any side to compete in at least 20 campaigns (4).

  • Brighton are looking to win four consecutive home games for the very first time in the top-flight; this is the seventh time they have won three in a row at home at this level, losing their next match on five of the previous six instances (D1 – v Swansea in October 1982).

  • Michael Carrick has the best points-per-game average of any manager in the Premier League this season (2.25 – P16 W11 D3 L2). Indeed, it is the best by any Manchester United manager in a league season since Alex Ferguson’s final campaign in 2012-13 (2.34) – a season in which Carrick played 36 times for the Red Devils, his most in a top-flight campaign.

  • In his career in English football, against no side has Brighton’s Danny Welbeck scored more goals in all competitions than he has against his former side Manchester United (8). It will be his 400th Premier League appearance if he plays in this game, the 46th player to reach this milestone.

  • Against no side has Man Utd’s Bryan Mbeumo been involved in more Premier League goals than he has against Brighton (5 goals, 3 assists), with these eight all coming in his last five starts against the Seagulls.

  • Bruno Fernandes has provided 20 assists for Manchester United this season, with one more setting a new overall record for most assists in a Premier League campaign (Thierry Henry in 2002-03 and Kevin De Bruyne in 2019-20 also 20).
