Brighton manager Graham Potter has made six changes to ahead of his side's FA Cup clash with Blackpool – and fans have been quick to react on social media.

The build-up to Saturday’s fourth round clash was marred by the news that five members of the League One club's contingent have tested positive for Covid-19. Despite the update, the game will go ahead as initially planned.

Albion are looking to reach the fifth round of the competition for the first time since 2019, and have rung the changes from the side that beat Leeds United in the Premier League last weekend.

Christian Walton comes in between the sticks, while Yves Bissouma, Steven Alzate, and Davy Propper also return to the starting XI.

Percy Tau and Andi Zeqiri are given a nod as well.

Here are some of the best reactions from supporters on Twitter:
