Brighton
Crystal Palace
- Steve Sidwell is the only player injured for Brighton and Chris Hughton has confirmed he will make changes to his usual XI.
- Crystal Palace are expected to be without a least seven players for Monday's trip to Brighton.
- Roy Hodgson will make changes but keep his side competitive.
Brighton WIN!
With Brighton coming close to the relegation spots in the Premier League and the confirmation from their coach that they'll be making changes, I don't think the FA Cup is their priority... So Palace is up for at least a draw in this game. I'll bet on Palace or draw double chance.
From the BBC: "Brighton's FA Cup third-round meeting with Crystal Palace will be the first competitive club match in England in which VAR (Video Assistant Referee) technology is used." Finally! Long overdue. It may take a while to get it right but it's definitely a step in the right direction. There will still be the odd questionable decision (that cost clubs millions) but there will be fewer.
