The Form Guide: United have lost all but one of their 13 league outings so far this term, with their only point coming from a draw against Fulham. However, they have won three and drawn two of their last four meetings with Albion, including the corresponding fixture last season when an Oli McBurnie goal proved enough to settle the game. Albion’s two wins in the competition so far have both come away from home. They have failed to score in their last two outings, which United netted twice against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
The Details: Brighton and Hove Albion versus Sheffield United, kick-off midday tomorrow. Pre, in-game and post-match coverage is available via The Star, in print and online.
