Brighton are fresh off a rollicking 6-0 win over Wolves at the weekend and, with games in hand over all the teams around them, still have a strong chance of making a fifth-place finish.
However, a series of tough fixtures stand in their way before the end of the season: Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester City and Aston Villa make the Seagulls' run-in one of the hardest in the league.
Manchester United – their recent opponents in the FA Cup semi-final – will not be easy either. Erik ten Hag's United are unbeaten in five in the league, and have a battle on their hands to claim third spot.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister and Karou Mitoma are all back in contention for Brighton – though whether they need them after the weekend's excellent performance is another matter.
For Manchester United, absences include Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay, with all of Alejandro Garnacho, Donny van de Beek and Lisandro Martinez.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, 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 Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
