As Manchester United and Brighton are set to clash again, the memory of Manchester United's 4-2 win in their Premier League match from 3 months ago still lingers. Manchester United head into the match on the back of three consecutive draws, with Burnley, Leeds and Wolves, bringing their unbeaten streak to four. Turning their attention to defensive solidity could be the key to turning draws into victories, as they have allowed goals in three consecutive matches.

Brighton approach this game after a draw with Manchester City on January 7, stretching their unbeaten streak to three matches. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last four away matches in a row.

In this FA Cup showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Manchester United and Brighton throughout the campaign. Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and top finisher Bryan Mbeumo have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Darren Fletcher, remains effective. Mbeumo has been Manchester United’s standout performer across all competitions, netting seven goals and contributing one assist, with Fernandes orchestrating the attack, contributing nine assists to the team’s tally. Supporting them are Casemiro, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Manchester United’s attack.

Meanwhile, the attacking efforts of Brighton, under Fabian Hurzeler’s management, have been driven by Danny Welbeck, the team’s primary goal threat, and Diego Gomez, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. Welbeck has already scored eight goals and provided one assist in all competitions this term, as Gruda tops the team’s assist charts with three decisive passes leading to goals. Brighton have also relied on Stefanos Tzimas, Georginio Rutter and Yankuba Minteh to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
