Earlier this season, we secured a 4-2 victory over Fabian Hurzeler’s team in M16, with goals from Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, and two from Bryan Mbeumo.
This marks our ninth encounter with the south-coast club in the FA Cup, with our most notable clash occurring in 1983.
During that match, we triumphed over the Seagulls in the final, winning 4-0 in a replay following a 2-2 draw.
The latest cup encounter took place in April 2023, when Erik ten Hag’s squad maintained their composure to win in a shootout after a tense 120 minutes without goals in the semi-final at Wembley.
