The opposition
Since an out of character 7-0 humbling away to Nottingham Forest at the start of February, Brighton have been absolutely flying in both the Premier League and Emirates FA Cup, joining Fulham in the Quarter-Finals thanks to 2-1 victories over Chelsea and Newcastle.
They also dispatched Chelsea 3-0 in the league, the first of three successive top flight wins which has moved them up to eighth in the standings, a point and a place above Fulham.
Team news
π΅ The Seagulls are a little light at right-back, with Joel Veltman out with a foot injury and Tariq Lamptey serving a one-game ban having been sent off at St James' Park last weekend. It means it could be between midfielders Jack Hinshelwood and Mats Wieffer to deputise at full-back. Former Fulham man Matt O'Riley could return after missing the Newcastle tie with a stomach bug, but Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Lewis Dunk and Igor Julio are all injured. Kaoru Mitoma went off with cramp last time out, but is fine for the weekend.
π€ SaΕ‘a LukiΔ begins his two-game ban for accumulating 10 yellow cards. Adama TraorΓ© picked up a knock at Old Trafford and is being assessed. Kenny Tete has returned to training but Saturday will come too soon for him.
