After a dramatic Premier League win at the weekend, United will be back against Brighton at Amex for the League Cup fourth round.
Manchester United are aiming for another victory in the fourth round of the 2020/21 English League Cup, with them again required to travel to Brighton & Hove Albion headquarters on Thursday (1/10) early morning WIB tomorrow.
Previously, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men managed to secure a dramatic 3-2 win at the Premier League meeting at the weekend, and it was colored by a debate over the penalty the Red Devils received after the referee blew the long whistle.
If they don’t show a good performance at the Amex Stadium later, Brighton could return to being as troublesome as they showed yesterday.

Brighton & Hove Albion XI : Jason Steele; Dan Burn, Ben White, Lewis Dunk; Joel Veltman, Jayson Molumby, Pascal Gross, Bernardo, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Viktor Gyokeres, Alexis Mac Allister.

Preview
With the 2020/21 season running tight and fast, United, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s direction, is expected to rotate his strength at the meeting.
Even so, Red Devils defender Luke Shaw emphasized that his team still takes this competition seriously, even though they will play a second-tier strength.
“Of course this is a competition we want to win, but I think it gives the manager a chance to give other players who are on the bench and on the margins a chance, who are training really hard for this opportunity,” Shaw told MUTV .
“I think a match like this suits them very well. It’s great that we have a very strong squad with players who are ready to play and ready to take chances. I’m sure the players are looking forward to Wednesday’s game.
“The road of the season will get denser and faster and, as I said, it is a competition where we want to participate strongly, we want to win and challenge. But it’s also an opportunity for the players to get some playing time and sharpness. “
Against Brighton on the last chance yesterday, United secured the score 3-2 through Bruno Fernandes’ penalty after the referee blew the long whistle. They were lucky enough because the home team at that time got five of their kicks on goal.
On the meeting, Shaw continued: “It was really a lot of ups and downs.
“It’s the type of game where the points are very important, although obviously we as players and managers know we can do much better. The most important thing is the three points and we got them.
“It feels great to win the game right at the end, we haven’t done that in a while. Those are three good points for us, but we have to do better. “
