A Manchester United side in red hot form will be seeking to take revenge for their defeat in the first half of the season in the Amex Stadium when they welcome Brighton Hove & Albion to the Theatre of Dreams on Saturday.

The Red Devils have been in red hot form with 6 wins in 6 under new interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, becoming the first ever United manager to win his first 6 matches, with the victory in the weekend against Tottenham Hotspur the most eye-catching result. The Norweign will be hoping to continue his team's winning streak and climb above 5th placed Arsenal with another victory.

Brighton was unlucky not to get a point in their match against Liverpool in the last weekend at the Amex. Chris Hughton will be hoping to be the first manager to end the marauding Manchester United winning streak when they face each other tomorrow.
