    Jack Butland is sent to warm up but it looks like David de Gea will be OK.

    And now a really good chance for Brighton as Kaoru Mitoma intercepts a lazy ball across the defence and he charges into the box before smacking a fierce shot that hits David de Gea square in the face.

    Play is stopped now as unsurprisingly De Gea needs some treatment after that.

    Brighton 0-0 Man Utd

    Big chance for Antony after just 90 seconds!

    Brighton are careless in possession and give the ball away in midfield, Bruno Fernandes then plays a brilliant ball through the middle for Antony but he fires wide.

    Should have done better.

    Of all the teams this season, I think Brighton deserve a place in Europe because they've been so entertaining to watch.

    It could have been better if certain decisions at certain times had gone there way too.

    They deserve Europe, they've been a delight to watch.

    English football has only just been introduced to Evan Ferguson, the Brighton striker who has impressed with a string of fine performances in his debut Premier League season.

    In his native Republic of Ireland, however, there has been hype around the teenager for a number of years.

    In his homeland, the younger Ferguson's breakthrough at Brighton has drawn comparisons with a Manchester United legend - Wayne Rooney.

    Rooney memorably burst on to the Premier League scene as a 16-year-old in 2002 with a last-minute winner for Everton against Arsenal - and his old youth coach can see a similar story unfolding now.

    "I remember the reaction to Rooney with that goal for Everton against Arsenal and I can see that sort of thing with Evan," Karl Lamb, who coached Ferguson for eight years at St Kevin's Football Club, tells BBC Sport.

    "He is this thing Ireland have been crying out for for maybe 10 or 15 years. In England, it is like 'this lad has come out of nowhere' whereas in Ireland it is, 'this lad is the great hope'."

    Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, speaking to Sky Sports: "Every game between now and the end of the season is really important for us, for what we want to achieve. We have to focus game-by-game.

    "We know how good Brighton are and how good they have been during the season.

    "Every game is different. It doesn't matter what we did in the past we have to focus on what we can do today."

    Man Utd's defensive prowess is owed to Lisandro Martinez. This season would be a success regardless of what happens today, which is arguably a hard game with a very good Brighton team.

    More from Lallana on his relationship with De Zerbi: "I feel grateful to him for sticking by me but I think it's because I helped him when he first joined.

    "He didn't speak the language too well but I opened myself up to him and the relationship built from there really.

    "I've worked with a lot of top managers so I know how to act and get their plan in place as quickly as possible."

    Brighton attacking midfielder Adam Lallana says he has a close relationship with Roberto de Zerbi and feels "lucky to be involved" with the club.

    Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: "I'm hugely grateful, I've got so much gratitude towards the football club. I've got a great relationship with everyone here.

    "De Zerbi's made it clear he wants me around, no matter how much I play. It's nice to feel important. I'll give as much as I can to this club whilst I'm here, whether it's on or off the pitch.

    "He seems to want me around and close to him, he has me in his office on matchdays and I'm always around the dressing room. I've had enough injures to know there's more to life than football, I've probably got one eye on what's happening after now and I've got too much passion to just stop.

    "I'm very lucky to be involved here and I'm really enjoying it."

    Napoli are on the verge of ending a 33-year wait for a Serie A title and they need just a point against Udinese tonight to seal it.

    There's an incredible atmosphere as that game approaches, you can follow it here.

    This is a hard one to call.

    Brighton can bring Kaoru Mitoma, Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo back into their starting XI after they all started Saturday’s 6-0 win over Wolves on the bench and I am a big fan of how the Seagulls always have a go at teams.

    But even in the FA Cup semi-final, which was eventually decided by penalties, Manchester United counter-attacked against them extremely well and created plenty of opportunities. Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford are both playing really well at the moment, so they will definitely carry a threat.

    It should be a good game. I think there will be a few goals, and I am going for an entertaining draw.

    Prediction: 2-2

    Brighton v Man Utd (20:00 BST)

    Manchester United's home form has been excellent this season but it is a different story on the road, particularly against the sides around them.

    They have taken only one point from their seven Premier League away fixtures this season against other teams currently in the top nine of the table, conceding 27 goals.

    Thirty one of the 39 Premier League goals they have let in this season have been in away games.
