Manchester United faces Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup third round, seeking to recover from a recent derby defeat. This fixture offers an immediate chance to lift the mood at Old Trafford. United failed to progress past the second round last season, highlighting the importance of this early stage.
Brighton has enjoyed a strong start to the current season, positioning themselves well in the Premier League with a potent attack. Their recent form suggests they could pose a significant challenge to Manchester United.

Historically, Manchester United has a better record in this competition, having won it multiple times. Brighton, however, has a less successful history in the League Cup and has not advanced past the fifth round since 1978-79.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, with a kickoff time of 8 p.m. BST.
