Team News:
The good news is Fernandes is back, Maguire is suspended and Martial trained on Friday. It’s unknown how seriously Shaw is injured, so he’s a major doubt. Rashford should be able to start unless he’s aggravated an injury. Presumably, Varane is still unavailable. Eriksen looked exhausted in Seville and playing every three days after being out for so long was always going to be difficult.
Our Team to beat Brighton:
De Gea
Wan-Bissaka Shaw Lindelof Dalot
Casemiro Fernandes
Fred
Antony Martial Rashford
If Shaw is unavailable, then it has to be Casemiro dropping back in there. In that case, the midfield would go to Fernandes, Fred, and Sabitzer. Sancho drops to the bench for Rashford.
Score Prediction: 2-1 United:
That’s being optimistic. Brighton are a superb side on their day but if United don’t make any stupid mistakes, they have enough quality to win. Brighton won’t be used to playing at Wembley and the occasion may play on their nerves.
