Manchester United were expected to make the quarterfinals of the Champions last week after they drew the first leg of their Round of 16 game in Seville, but the Red Devils adopted a negative tactic at home and fell 2-1 to the Spaniards thanks to 2 goals from Yassim Ben Yedder who came off the bench in the second half.
The FA Cup is now Jose Mourinho’s only hope of winning a trophy this season. They have won 9 of their last 13 games in all competitions, and they have lost just 2 competitive games at home this season, winning 15 of 17 including last weekend’s 2-1 win over Liverpool. They have also kept 13 clean sheets from 19 home games this season.
Brighton saw their seven-match unbeaten run come to an end at Everton last weekend when the Toffees defeated them 2-0. They do not have the best away form as they have netted only 8 times away from the Amex Stadium this season. fewer than a total of 3 goals have been scored in each of their last 11 games, and they have lost 6, won one and drawn two of their last 9 games against Manchester United.
