Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
A spot in the FA Cup final will be at stake when Brighton and Manchester United face each other at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Seagulls are enjoying a season to remember, and they head into the match following a come-from-behind win over Chelsea. Danny Welbeck is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring the equalizer against the Seagulls, with Julio Enciso pushing for a start as well. Joel Veltman has joined the likes of Lamptey, Sarmiento, Lallana, Moder, and Ferguson in the recovery room.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a heart-breaking elimination to Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals. Bruno Fernandes is back from the EL ban, and seeing that key attacker Marcus Rashford has overcome his injury, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Heaton, Martinez, Varane, McTominay, Garnacho, and Donny van de Beek miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
