Prediction: 1-1
Manchester United
Brighton will be aiming to get their revenge on Manchester United for a 3-2 Premier League loss when the two teams face each other in the EFL Cup last 16. The Seagulls set up a meeting with the Red Devils by beating the likes of Portsmouth (4-0) and Preston (2-0), and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Solskjaer’s troops. Neal Maupay, who looks unstoppable at the start of the season, will be the man to keep an eye on in the home team.
Man Utd, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a shocking Premier League loss to Crystal Palace, with the team eliminating Luton in the EFL Cup, while beating Brighton in the Premier League. However, away win should not be considered this time out as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to rest several first-team regulars in Wednesday’s showdown.

Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.
A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.
The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
