Manchester United travel to in-form Brighton this evening in their penultimate Premier League game of a turbulent season.
An odd facet of the fixture list means the Red Devils have played more matches than any other team going into the weekend, with a 15-day break before they close out their campaign at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace on May 22.
With a top-four finish all but gone, the Europa League is United’s best bet for continental football next season and victory over Brentford last time out at least ended a three-game winless run to cement their grip on sixth position.
Brighton cruised past Wolves a week ago as they look to bag a top-half finish - something the club has never achieved in its 121-year history.
