Brighton v Blackpool team news

Brighton: Boss Potter will likely make changes to his XI with injuries and fatigue affecting his side. Danny Welbeck, Florin Andone, Aaron Connolly, Tariq Lamptey and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are definitely out.

Jason Steele is rated 50/50 but both Jakub Moder and Adam Lallana are unlikely to be risked.

Blackpool: Daniel Gretarsson and Keshi Anderson are unlikely to feature as the pair continue to recover from injuries, while CJ Hamilton is also still out.

However, boss Neil Critchley was able to give Danny Ballard and Luke Garbutt game time in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Hull, which will ease concerns over his defence.

Our prediction: Brighton v Blackpool

Brighton showed real promise and defensive discipline in the win over Leeds and Potter will expect that to continue against a Blackpool side that really shouldn’t have caused West Brom as many problems as they did.

The Seagulls boss will be wary of an upset here, so don’t be surprised if he keeps some experienced heads in the XI to mix with the youth.

Blackpool will certainly give this cup tie a good shot but Brighton should steer clear of trouble by the hour mark.

Our prediction: Brighton 2-0 Blackpool (13/2 at bet365)
