THE PREDICTION

Brighton needed penalty kicks to get past League Two side Newport County away from home in the FA Cup third round and Graham Potter’s side will be happy to return home on a pitch more equipped for their natural style of football, where they entertain Blackpool of League One in the fourth round. The Tangerines have already taken one Premier League scalp, having beaten West Brom also on penalties in round three. However, this is an all-together more difficult challenge at a Premier League ground against a team with an entirely different playstyle to West Brom and Brighton should be able to tire their lower league opponents out here with their consistent ball retention on a big pitch, ultimately winning this match by at least two clear goals.
