Manchester United will face off against Brighton for the second time in just five days on Wednesday, this time in the Carabao Cup.
If the encounter is anything like Saturday's match then we will be in for a treat, as the 3-2 victory for United was steeped in drama and controversy.
The Seagulls were by far the better team but some how conspired to lose the match in heart wrenching fasion. They took the lead through a Neal Maupay penalty but were pegged back by Harry Maguire's equaliser.
Marcus Rashford put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side ahead with a fine solo goal but Brighton managed to equalise themselves late on through a Solly March header.
That's not where the excitement ended, however, as United were then awarded a penalty for a handball from Maupay, even though the full-time whistle had been blown, which Bruno Fernandes duly converted.
It's likely that the starting XIs for the cup fixture will be very different but with any luck we'll get another entertaining game in the cup.

Predictions for Brighton vs Manchester United
Former United striker Michael Owen has predicted another close game between these two sides.
“These two played out a cracker at the weekend, with Manchester United controversially running out 3-2 winners," he told BetVictor.
Bearing in mind that both sides could line up a bit differently, I could see this one being a bit tighter in terms of goals. That said, I’m still siding with United to do enough to get through.”
Team news for Brighton vs Manchester United
United have no fresh injury concerns going into the cup encounter with Brighton but Solskjaer has hinted that he will once again ring the changes for the match.
Dean Henderson, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Eric Bailly, Brandon Williams, Fred, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Daniel James, Juan Mata and Odion Ighalo are in line for recalls as United prioritise the visit of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
"It’s an opportunity for game-time," Solskjaer said. "We need to build up the squad for a long season ahead and, of course, it’s an opportunity for individuals to impress.
"At the stage we’re at we need to have players ready and available because it’s a long season. But we have a strong and a big squad.
"We’ve got a big week coming up with this cup game and Tottenham on Sunday so eyes on both of them."
