TEAM NEWS

Brighton boss Graham Potter says it is "touch and go" whether Adam Webster will be fit due to the hamstring injury he suffered against Leicester.

Tariq Lamptey could keep his place at right-back after his impressive debut against the Foxes.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to make numerous changes given the tight turnaround after their FA Cup win at Norwich.

Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe are the only players currently unavailable.

Was the journey wasted because the centre is closed? Guessing having hundreds of potential virus carriers in the car park isn't a good idea, do they wash the place down though I wonder.

Oh, and I wont take a draw. Win please.

1-1 and a rearguard exhibition to counteract a rampant United who could and should have scored 6. Maupays late equaliser, 89th minute, earns us a point.:O good enough for me if all our rivals drop points.
