Fortunately, also to help Man Utd when the Brighton rematch?

* 2:15 am, October 1, 2020, Amex Stadium, Carabao Cup 4th round

Last weekend, Man Utd beat Brighton in the most controversial and dramatic match in Premier League history. The visitors played a stalemate, while coach Potter’s army outplayed their higher-class opponents, the home team opening the scoring after Maupay hit 11 meters in the 40th minute.

Fortunately, Man Utd tied just three minutes after conceding, Dunk kicking an own goal to help the visitors draw 1-1. Early in the second half, Rashford’s sudden bright first ball gave Man Utd a 2-1 lead. Brighton attacked until the end of the match, but it wasn’t until the last minute that the hosts drew 2-2.

It seems that Brighton has found a point, but bad luck continues to “stalk” the home team. Maupay used his hand to stop the ball in the seventh minute of injury time, resulting in a penalty after the referee received help from the VAR. Fernandes has posted a 3-2 victory for the “Red Devils” in the 100th minute.

Brighton hit the wooden frame 5 times and had a total of 18 shots in the entire game, while Man Utd only had three shots into the opponent’s goal. Coach Solskjaer admitted after the game that his team didn’t deserve anything after a lackluster performance at Amex.

There are very few bright spots from Man Utd when only Fernandes, Rashford play well, the rest of the team play medium and weak. In particular, the Man Utd defense continued to play indefinitely, making the mistake of Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka’s entire turn of playing like a dream on defense.

Until now, it cannot be said that Man Utd remains subjective going into the new season. Obviously, Solskjaer’s army was exhausted at the end of last season, they arranged an unreasonable summer vacation, which caused a deviation in both physical strength and leadership, so Man Utd faces Small Crisis at the beginning of the season.

It will be difficult for Man Utd to show a different face when they are still the same people, four days ago. Man Utd even pitched the strongest team in the last Amex match, so if Solskjaer changes the team tonight, he is a weaker Man Utd, which means the hope of winning is lower.

Man Utd fans really have to worry when Brighton increases his will for revenge. However, Brighton is not without its problems, only once passed the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, which was in the 1978/79 season. The nature of cup matches is very different from national championship matches, so it is impossible to say that all the advantages are in favor of Potter teachers and students.

In terms of fame in the Carabao Cup, Man Utd is far ahead of Brighton, the number of times this team won the championship trophy only less than Man City and Liverpool. Last season, Man Utd reached the semi-finals, they only stopped when they faced defending champion Man City, the team then successfully defended the throne.

Amex’s lesson four days ago will be important enough to wake up the Man Utd players. The Manchester team still have a lot of big stars in the squad and if they play right Brighton cannot stop Man Utd’s progress.

Whether the Man Utd player “wakes up” or not remains a question mark. However, from Solskjaer’s perspective, he has not left much in the way of applying tactics and reading and adjusting the game since he came to Man Utd, Brighton fans may believe Man Utd cannot change. So the chances of the home team Amex getting revenge tonight will be great.

Expected squad

Brighton: Steele; Veltman, Burn, Dunk, Bernardo; Propper, Sanders; Jahanbakhsh, Gross, Mac Allister; Maupay

Manchester United: Henderson; Dalot, Bailly, Maguire, Williams; Fred, Matic; James, Van de Beek, Lingard; Ighalo
