Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion live stream, Tuesday 15 February, 8.15pm GMT
Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways when Brighton travel to Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
This fixture was supposed to take place on December 18 but was postponed due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the United camp. The virus is thankfully having less of an impact on the football calendar these days, and the Red Devils have the chance to climb into the top four with a victory over Graham Potter’s side.
That will not be easy, though. United remain an unconvincing proposition, and back-to-back 1-1 draws with Burnley and Southampton have put a dent in their chances of Champions League qualification. This is a team which seems unable to sustain a high level of performance across 90 minutes, and although Ralf Rangnick has made improvements in certain areas since his appointment on an interim basis, United are still less than the sum of their parts.
A more positive spin would focus on the fact that United have lost only one of their last 12 Premier League encounters. That is undeniably a decent record, yet it has often been a case of United being bailed out by the individual quality within the squad. That is rarely a recipe for success.
Brighton beat Watford 2-0 at the weekend to cement their place in the top half of the table. The Seagulls have now gone seven Premier League games without defeat, so United will be in for a tough game on Tuesday. Brighton have only lost four times all season, and just one of those came against a top-six side.
Manchester United will have to make do without Edinson Cavani, Nemanja Matic, Eric Bailly and Mason Greenwood.
Brighton have no fresh injury concerns for the trip to Manchester, but Enock Mwepu and Jeremy Sarmiento are still sidelined.
Kick-off is at 8.15pm GMT on Tuesday 15 February. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
