The Red Devils, who beat Brighton in their FA Cup semi-final clash last month, are fourth in the table after winning four of their last five league games and they're just two points behind Newcastle in third, with United also boasting a game in hand.

Liverpool have closed the gap to United, with Jurgen Klopp's side now four points back in fifth, however, they've played two more games than Ten Hag's men.

While United look set to return to the Champions League after missing out last season, Brighton could also be joining them in landing European football.

Roberto De Zerbi's men could find themselves in the Europa League or Europa Conference League next campaign. They're eighth in the table ahead of the United clash, however, they've got three games in hand on their rivals and should they win them all, they would move above Liverpool and into fifth.
