  • Geyse is hoping to return to the squad but Melvine Malard is set to return after the international break. She is aiming for the Arsenal game on 3 November.

  • Anna Sandberg is still five to six weeks away from returning, while Jayde Riviere is a doubt for the Brighton game and is being assessed.

  • Skinner says the club were scouting Elisabeth Terland last season at Brighton and her mentality impressed them, as well as her clinical goalscoring.

  • He adds: "It was her attitude. When I spoke to her it was about winning, pushing herself and being hungry for success not just for herself but for the team."

  • Man Utd will come up against former striker Nikita Parris, who Skinner says will be described as "a legend of the game" in years to come.

  • "Iâ€TMve nothing but great things to say about Parris and we have a tough job to make sure she doesnâ€TMt play her very best on Saturday," adds Skinner.

  • Skinner says Brighton will be "confident" after a strong start to the season.

  • He adds: "They play a possession-based style of football and obviously have some really experienced players that make them tick. Itâ€TMs going to be an exciting tie and probably one of the games of the weekend. Itâ€TMs exciting for Brighton fans seeing what they are going to do."
