Team News

Brighton
Nottingham Forest
  • Brighton could head into this FA Cup quarter-final with as many as nine first-team players absent through injury.
  • Among those that could be fit to play here are Lewis Dunk, Matt O'Riley, Solly March and Joel Veltman.
  • The likes of Igor Julio, Tariq Lamptey, Ferdi Kadioglu and James Milner remain sidelined.
  • After a strong showing against Manchester City before the break, 21-year-old Diego Gomez will be expected to continue alongside Carlos Baleba in midfield.
  • Back-up goalkeeper Carlos Miguel is the only confirmed absentee for Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
  • Top goalscorer Chris Wood was forced off through injury for New Zealand on Monday and will have to be assessed before playing a part here.
  • Elsewhere, Nuno will be expected to continue with much of what has become a familiar, settled starting XI.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • A semi-final place at Wembley is up for grabs when Brighton host Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday evening.
  • Fabian Hurzeler's side head into the clash in excellent form, having won six straight matches before earning a draw at Manchester City before the break.
  • After a run of three games without a win, Nottingham Forest have won their last three in all competitions, with league victories over Manchester City and Ipswich in their last two.
  • These side notably met at the City Ground at the beginning of February, when Forest stuck seven past an out of sorts Brighton side.
  • That result seemingly kicked the Seagulls into gear, and it is their most recent defeat across all competitions.
  • The hosts are unbeaten in their three home meetings with Forest in the Premier League, with a 2-2 draw most recently.
  • This should be an entertaining cup clash, and potentially one that goes to extra time.
