UCL Qualification Still a Dream for Seagulls

Brighton have enjoyed another excellent season in the Premier League, and they could yet finish sixth in the standings, which could be enough to achieve Champions League qualification should Liverpool win and Aston Villa lose on the final day.

The Seagulls will need to bounce back to form after losing two of their last three. However, positives can be taken from their home form, as Brighton have won each of their last three at the Amex. Danny Welbeck has an excellent record against his former club, netting a career-high eight against the Red Devils.

Possible Lineup
(4-2-3-1) Vebruggen (GK); Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Baleba, March; Minteh, Hinshelwood, Rutter; Welbeck

UCL Qualification Already Achieved by United

When Michael Carrick returned to Old Trafford, few gave the manager much chance of guiding Man United back into the Champions League. However, the Red Devils have been electric under Carrick, with no current EPL manager having more points per game than the former United star in 2025-26.

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the players of the season, and he will be aiming to eclipse the overall record of assists in a single campaign on Sunday. Bryan Mbeumo has an excellent record against Brighton, registering five goals in eight appearances.

Possible Lineup
(4-2-3-1) Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Mainoo, Fernandes; Cunha, Mount, Amad; Mbeumo

Brighton vs. Man United Picks

Man United have nothing to play for on the final day of the season, meaning that this could be a good fixture for Brighton. It is worth noting that no side in Premier League history boasts a better win rate against the Red Devils than the Seagulls (47% overall, and 63% in home fixtures).
