Brighton are aiming for a first-ever FA Cup triumph, but 12-time winners Manchester United stand in their way at Wembley in Sunday’s semi-final.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side are enjoying a superb league campaign as they push for European qualification, but they are also in the running for their first major trophy after knocking out Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Stoke City and Grimsby Town to reach the last four.
United haven’t won the trophy since 2015/16 and will be eager to end an encouraging debut season for Erik ten Hag on a high by claiming a domestic cup double after clinching the League Cup in February.
The Red Devils knocked out Everton, Reading, West Ham and Fulham to reach this stage, but they lost their first meeting of the season against Brighton 2-1 at Old Trafford in August.
Kick-off is at 4:30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the FA Cup wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch FA Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for an FA Cup tie, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the FA Cup, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
