United's last defeat at Old Trafford was a defeat by rivals Manchester City on Sep. 10, 2016 and Jose Mourinho's side have been unbeaten since but Hughton is hopeful of Brighton extending their five-game unbeaten run in the league. "Of course we can beat them but we know what we'll have to do to do that. You need to play to a very high level and get a bit of luck as well - you always need that at the big clubs," Hughton told reporters. Hughton said Brighton, ninth in the league, were clear underdogs to second-placed United, who sit eight points behind leaders City with eight victories in 12 games. "I am being realistic when I say that a large majority of people in football would not expect us to get a result on Saturday," Hughton added.
