Man United welcome Brighton to Old Trafford in an eye-catching English FA Cup third-round tie.

The visitors claimed a valuable point against Man City last time out, which took them up to 11th in the Premier League table.

Brighton have only won one of their last eight matches, with the solitary win coming against relegation-threatened Burnley.

The Seagulls made it to the quarter-finals last season, losing against Nottingham Forest on penalties.
