Manchester United managed to beat Brighton 4-2 in the Premier League earlier this season but Albion are a value bet to avenge that loss in the FA Cup.
The Seagulls had won on their three previous trips to Old Trafford and enjoyed a nice run in this competition under Fabian Hurzeler last term.
Brighton followed up a 4-0 romp at Norwich in round three by knocking out Chelsea and Newcastle before only going out on penalties against Nottingham Forest.
Punters can get 17/10 for Albion to qualify from this tie and that is our initial Manchester United vs Brighton prediction.

Manchester United Form Guide
Darren Fletcher is set to continue as caretaker manager of United after being in charge for Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Burnley .
Following the departure of Ruben Amorim , it was a relatively upbeat display by the Red Devils , who saw Benjamin Sesko bag a brace and squander several other good chances.
United also had two shots cleared off the line, a goal disallowed for a foul and substitute Shea Lacey struck the crossbar in a total of 30 shots, 10 on target.
“I thought they put in a performance that should win the match,” Fletcher said. “I think they’ve created a lot of chances.”
However, with just one win in six outings, slow starts have been a problem and they did concede first at Turf Moor after also having to come from behind in a 1-1 draw at Leeds .
Looking at the Manchester United vs Brighton odds, the visitors can be backed at 11/10 to lead at any point in this game and that is a tempting option.
Brighton Form Guide
Albion had a disappointing run of results during December , when losing to Aston Villa , Liverpool and Arsenal and only drawing their other three games.
However, the turn of the year brought a confidence-boosting 2-0 triumph over Burnley on home turf and the Seagulls then showed great spirit to pick up a deserved point at Manchester City .
Erling Haaland put City ahead from the spot but Kaoru Mitoma equalised with his first goal since September .
Hurzeler said: “We started really strong, we created three big chances and we should have scored one goal.
“The penalty came out of nowhere and changed the dynamic of the game.
“We came back out of nowhere and had two or three big chances to go in front, but then City had chances. Overall, there were ups and downs.”
Danny Welbeck has only been used as a second-half substitute in Brighton ’s last two games but scored on his last start at West Ham to make it eight goals this term and has a good record against United .
He has netted in three of the last five encounters against his former club, including the match here in October, so 7/1 for Welbeck to strike first is added to our Brighton vs Man Utd betting tips.
