MARVELLOUS MARTIAL: In his last PL outing, Anthony Martial became the first United player to bag a league hat-trick since Robin van Persie in 2013.
STAT: Brighton are unbeaten in their last three matches. All of those games have been against sides in the top half of the table in the shape of Wolves, Arsenal and Leicester (the latter two since the PL restart). Indeed, the Seagulls have looked a more solid outfit, keeping two clean sheets in those three games, as many as they had managed in their previous 20 league outings.
Brighton boss Graham Potter: “I suppose there are bogey grounds. And I’m happy if the Amex is a bogey ground for Manchester United. But from our perspective, we can’t rely on that. My own personal view is that home advantage is significantly dropped because of the crowd. The crowd not being here is the main thing, the main advantage and that would have been nice for us, especially against the top teams."
Solskjær on whether United can go the rest of the season undefeated: “The short answer is yes but the long answer is that there’s more to it than that. Any Man United team should go into any game against any opposition believing they can win.”
And there's also this snippet on Jadon Sancho.
