Manchester United v Brighton live: FA Cup team news and line-ups from third-round tie

In case you missed it… Non-league Macclesfield produced one of the greatest FA Cup shocks of all time by knocking out holders Crystal Palace in a stunning 2-1 upset at Moss Rose.

Eight months after Palace lifted their first major trophy by defeating Manchester City at Wembley, the Premier League side became the first FA Cup holders to lose to non-league opposition since Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1909.

Macclesfield, of the sixth tier, started the day 117 places below the Eagles in the English football league pyramid. But inspired by goals from captain Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Rickett, and overseen by coach John Rooney, the younger brother of former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, they overturned the odds in a hugely emotional day for the Silkmen.

Manchester United: Bayindir; Dalot, Yoro, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Dorgu, Mount, Cunha; Zirkzee.

Brighton: Steele; Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Ayari, Gross; Gruda, Gomez, Mitoma; Welbeck.

Darren Fletcher expects to have the same players available as at Burnley, having confirmed whichever of Noussair Mazraoui and Bryan Mbeumo go out of the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday will not play.

Fabian Hurzeler expects to have defender Joel Veltman and forward Charalampos Kostoulas back from minor issues following Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City, while winger Yankuba Minteh will be assessed on a dead leg.

The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK. Subscribers to TNT Sports can stream the game online via the app and website.

The game will kick off at 4.30pm GMT today, Sunday 11 January, at Old Trafford.

Fletcher, who was named interim manager following last week’s sacking of Ruben Amorim, will lead United out at Old Trafford after taking the helm for their Premier League draw at Burnley in midweek.

United continue to search for a manager to take control until the rest of the season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in talks to take the reins from Fletcher as soon as next week, as the club’s hierarchy put off hiring a permanent manager until the summer.

Brighton are three points behind United in the Premier League and will hope to cause an upset today, as Fabian Hurzeler plots a cup run. The Seagulls have never won the FA Cup but did reach the final in 1983 – when they were beaten by United.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of Manchester United v Brighton in this all-Premier League FA Cup tie.

The two sides are separated by just three points in the top flight, so this could be a close one…
