How to Watch Manchester United vs Brighton Live Tonight? Streaming Options and TV Channels: Carabao Cup

Manchester United butt heads with a high-flying Brighton in the third round of the EFL Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Both teams have had contrasting starts to the season, with the Red Devils being eight points off the top-placed Arsenal and Manchester City, while Brighton sit 5th with two wins out of the first four games.

The last time Man United were knocked out before round four of the Carabao Cup was in successive seasons back in 1994-95 and 1995-96. The most recent matchup between the teams ended in a 3-0 win for the Red Devils in the league last season, before a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Seagulls in the FA Cup third round.

On the other hand, Brighton & Hove Albion are up and running this season with two wins, one draw, and one defeat so far. They have scored the most goals (13) after the first four matches, which is the most by the Seagulls at this stage of the league in their 14 top-flight appearances so far.

They are coming off a 5-0 win over Coventry City, and are hoping to beat Carrick's men to qualify for the
