Man United v Brighton LIVE: Latest team news, line-ups and more from Carabao Cup

Manchester United’s clash with Brighton in the Carabao Cup kicks off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 16 September at Old Trafford.

With just four points from their opening four games, United will hope for a change of fortunes against the Seagulls, who knocked them out of the FA Cup on home soil last season.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Carabao Cup action which sees Manchester United host Brighton in the third round of the competition.

Michael Carrick’s side haven’t had the best start to the season, and lost the Manchester derby on Sunday, so they will want to impress and advance in the cup in a bid to build some momentum.

Brighton, meanwhile, are playing with confidence and come to Old Trafford on the back of a 5-0 hammering over Coventry. The Seagulls are in good and it would not be surprising if they were to progress tonight.

We’ll have all the action, team news and updates throughout the evening so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
