Team News
Brighton
Brighton's victory at Stamford Bridge last time out came at quite the cost, as Joel Veltman and Evan Ferguson came off with thigh and ankle problems respectively, and De Zerbi has already ruled the pair out of the semi-final.

Joining Veltman and Ferguson in a well-occupied medical bay are Jakub Moder (ACL), Tariq Lamptey (knee), Adam Lallana (thigh) and Jeremy Sarmiento (knee), while goalkeeper Jason Steele is doubtful with a knock, but Levi Colwill is back in the fold after being unable to face his parent club.

Danny Welbeck will come in from the outset against his old club in place of Ferguson, and with Pascal Gross likely dropping in at right-back, the door is open for Julio Enciso to come in for a start after his rocket of a winner against Chelsea.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gross, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan; Caicedo, Mac Allister; March, Enciso, Mitoma; Welbeck

Manchester United
As for an injury-riddled Man United, Ten Hag's defensive crisis will be exacerbated by the absence of Harry Maguire, who is suspended for the semi-final after picking up his second FA Cup yellow card of the campaign in their chaotic win over Fulham.

With Lisandro Martinez (foot) and Raphael Varane (ankle) also sidelined, Victor Lindelof should be partnered by Luke Shaw, although the Englishman was not moving comfortably towards the end of the second leg with Sevilla and will need a once-over.

Tom Heaton and Alejandro Garnacho also remain out with their ankle problems alongside Donny van de Beek (knee), while Scott McTominay's knock will require assessment in the next 48 hours, and the hapless Anthony Martial has emerged as a doubt after limping off early in the second half against Sevilla.

On a couple of cheery notes, Bruno Fernandes is back from a Europa League ban, while Marcus Rashford was fit enough for a second-half cameo in Seville and should now come into consideration for a start over Jadon Sancho.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Manchester United (a.e.t)
