Manchester United have won each of their last seven meetings with Brighton & Hove Albion in all competitions, their longest ongoing winning run against another current Premier League side. 

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 18 goals in 29 Premier League appearances for Man Utd in 2021/22, as many as he did in his final season at the club before leaving for Real Madrid (18 in 33 appearances in 2008/09). The last player to score more than 18 in a PL season for the Red Devils was Robin van Persie in 2012/13 (26).

Danny Welbeck has scored three goals in eight Premier League matches against former side Man Utd. He’s the highest-scoring player against United in PL history among players to have previously played for the Red Devils in the competition.

Leandro Trossard is enjoying his best scoring season for Brighton (seven goals), with only Neal Maupay netting more for the Seagulls in the Premier League this term (eight). Trossard has scored three goals in his last four league matches, as many as he had in his previous 24.
