The match has ended, you can view football predictions for today and football predictions for tomorrow.
Just mere days after their frenetic five-goal thriller at the Amex, Brighton and Manchester United are scheduled to battle again on the south Coast. This time, it's for a place in the quarter-finals of this season's EFL Cup, with both eager to earn silverware this term.
It's likely both managers will make changes but keep their sides strong as neither wants to lose - especially after Saturday's dramatic finish. Who will progress into the last-eight here? Read my match preview, for the correct score predictions and best betting tips ahead of this fixture.
Brighton vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Brighton scored first through a Neal Maupay penalty but were ultimately left heartbroken in second-half stoppage-time last weekend. VAR awarded the visitors a late opportunity to snatch all three points when the game was technically finished.
Bruno Fernandes converted the spot-kick in the tenth minute of added time to cap a frantic ending - though United were fortunate to emerge victorious. 3-2 the final score, Brighton hit the woodwork five times and somehow still ultimately empty-handed at the full-time whistle. Perhaps that'll be key as a motivating tool.
The Seagulls have lost each of their last four H2H meetings against United but don't have much opportunity to lick their wounds. That could either benefit or hinder them, depending on who Graham Potter decides to start on Wednesday.
Alexis Mac Allister impressed in their R3 win over Preston last week but limped off injured. Does the 45-year-old pick his strongest side, or rotate with a mixture of experience and youth here?
Tariq Lamptey, Steven Alzate, Maupay and fellow goalscorer Solly March will all be itching to feature, but it's important he strikes the right balance. Solskjaer should do the same, with Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Scott McTominay and Jesse Lingard among Saturday's unused substitutes.
Brighton vs Manchester United Correct Score Predictions
Brighton will be motivated to right Saturday's wrongs, but the EFL Cup presents a golden opportunity for Solskjaer to finally clinch his first piece of silverware as United head coach. It's unlikely to be an easy evening for the visitors, but I'm predicting they ultimately prevail.
