Can Fernandes extend his superb record against Brighton?

Man Utd are on a five-match winning run over Brighton and have never lost at home to them in any competition (W11 D2).

Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in five goals in his three Premier League appearances against Brighton, scoring three and assisting a further two.

This will be Graham Potter’s 100th Premier League match in charge on Brighton, making him the 74th manager to reach this milestone in the competition. Three of the last four managers whose 100th match came against Man Utd have won: Steve McClaren (2004), Roy Hodgson (2009) and Mick McCarthy (2011), with the exception being Sean Dyche in 2018.

Neal Maupay’s goal against Watford at the weekend was his 26th in the Premier League for Brighton. One more strike will make him the Seagulls’ highest goalscorer in the competition (currently level with Glenn Murray).
