Key pre-match stats (rewritten)
- Brighton bogey: Manchester United have lost six of their last seven league matches against Brighton (W1).
- Albion’s Old Trafford streak: Brighton have won their last three Premier League away games at Old Trafford; only Man City (five, 1968–1972) have had a longer visiting run.

- Welbeck’s purple patch: Danny Welbeck has 4 goals in his last 3 PL games, including two braces.
