United will be facing a very tricky side as the Seagulls beat Arsenal 2-1 in their first game back and followed the victory up with an impressive 0-0 draw against Leicester City. With six points now separating Graham Potterwill’s from the relegation zone, they will be eager for his side to finish the job and retain their Premier League safety.
