Game Preview
The lowest-ranked team remaining in the FA Cup strive to pull off a major quarter-final upset on Sunday, when Grimsby Town travel to face Premier League opponents Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex. Roberto De Zerbi’s men pushed through Stoke City 1-0 to set up a clash with their League Two counterparts, who surprised Southampton 2-1 in round five to move potentially just 90 minutes away from Wembley.
Solly March of Brighton scored the lone goal in Wednesday’s M23 derby victory over the now-managerless Eagles, putting the icing on Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace coffin as the month of March marched on.
Still dreaming of qualifying for continental competition via their league position – Brighton are sitting pretty in seventh in the Premier League table having taken seven points from their last three games – a Europa League spot is on offer for the winners of the FA Cup, and the Seagulls could hardly have been gifted a more preferable tie in the quarter-finals.
The Seagulls needed just one goal from Evan Ferguson to defeat Stoke in the fifth round and secure their place in the quarterfinals for the third time in six seasons after crushing Middlesbrough 5-1 and current champions Liverpool 2-1.
