Manchester United's Champions League football pursuit continues with a trip to Brighton on Tuesday evening.
United have secured promising results since the season restarted: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side drew 1-1 at Tottenham before crushing Sheffield United 3-0 to keep their Premier League campaign on track, and then picked up a 2-1 FA Cup win at Norwich despite a much-changed side putting in a below-par performance.
However, that is exactly the type of result that this United side needs to start getting if they are to seriously challenge for major honours next season - and the Red Devils need a win on the south coast.
A resurgent Wolves have leapfrogged United into fifth - a position which will ensure Champions League qualification if Man City's FFP Uefa ban stands - and Solskjaer's men must win at Brighton to retake control of the race.
Date, time and venue
Brighton vs Man Utd is scheduled for a kick-off time of 8:15pm BST at Amex Stadium on Tuesday, June 30.
Team news
Man United: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made big changes to his side to face Norwich in the Cup, and United were almost punished.
The Red Devils boss is likely to revert back to many of the players who started in the 3-0 win over Sheffield United, with the likes of David de Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial all coming in.
Victor Lindelof missed the Norwich game with a knock and could return here, while Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones are working back from injury problems.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Grant, Bishop, Dalot, Fosu-Mensah, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Lindelof, Mengi, Laird, Maguire, Shaw, Williams, Pogba, Matic, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes, Pereira, Lingard, Garner, Mata, Chong, James, Ighalo, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford.
Predicted lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Williams; McTominay, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
Brighton: Adam Webster was forced off in last week's 0-0 draw with Leicester due to a hamstring problem and will be assessed before the United fixture.
Tariq Lamptey impressed on his Seagulls debut in the same game and is fit to feature despite requiring stitches in a facial wound suffered during the match.
Provisional Brighton squad: Ryan, Schelotto, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Propper, Bissouma, Gross, Trossard, Mooy, Maupay, Lamptey, Montoya, Mac Allister, Connolly, Stephens, March, Duffy, Murray, Button, Connolly.
Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Manchester United
Brighton have picked up two excellent results since the restart to boost their survival hopes, beating Arsenal at home before securing a point at Leicester.
United will have to be wary, particularly given the manner in which the Seagulls fought back from behind to beat the Gunners - but Solskjaer will be confident of a win if his side take the game to their opponents as they did to Sheffield United.
