Brighton & Hove Albion entertain Manchester United at the Falmer Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday (May 4).

The two sides met in the FA Cup semifinals last month. The game was decided on penalties after it was goalless after extra time. United converted all of their penalties to book their place in the final.
