Prediction: 2-1

Blackpool

A place in the FA Cup last 16 will be at stake when Brighton and Blackpool take on each other at Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Seagulls aim to build on the Premier League win over Leeds United, and bookies see them as favourites to win the FA Cup clash. The likes of Lamptey, Jahanbakhsh, and Wellbeck are sidelined with injuries, while Lallana has been tested positive for coronavirus.

Boss Graham Potter should use this match to rest several first-team regulars, with the likes of Bissouma, Propper, Tau, and Alzate all pushing for a start. The Seasiders, on the other hand, did well to shock West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup last 64, but they are on a four-game winless run in the League One. Since Blackpool are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to put our money on the Premier League side this time out.
