Brighton and Hove Albion turn their attentions to the FA Cup this Wednesday as they travel to Wolves for a fifth round clash.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team, who are seventh in the Premier League after last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Everton, are keen to progress further in the cup competition.
The Seagulls reached the semi-finals of of the FA Cup last term and lost out to Manchester United after a painful penalty shootout loss at Wembley Stadium.
De Zerbi has recently spoke of using that painful experience to go one step further this season but the assignment at Wolves – who are impressing in the Premier League under Gary O’Neil – is a tricky one and made more so by the number of injuries for the Albion.
Here’s the early team news and ahead of the Wednesday night showdown at Molineux Stadium...
