ALBION FA Cup finalist Graham Pearce could be on course for a nostalgic return to Highbury with non-League Farnborough.

The Conference minnows have been drawn at home to Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup after knocking out Darlington on Saturday thanks to two goals from former Crawley midfielder Danny Carroll.

Farnborough could switch the tie to Highbury, which would bring back happy memories for first team coach Pearce.

He played there in Albion's 2-1 victory against Sheffield Wednesday in the semi-finals 20 years ago, then in the final and the Wembley replay against Manchester United.

Former Seagulls leftback Pearce, now 43, said: "It's a great opportunity for our players.

"The last time I played at Highbury I won an FA Cup semi-final, so I hope that is a good omen if the game was to be played away.

"But I think we should bring them to Cherrywood Road. Let them experience the potholes and water in the car park!"

A decision on whether the game is staged at Farnborough's 4,900 capacity ground will be made after discussions with Hampshire Police.

The club switch it to Southampton's St Mary's Stadium or Reading's Madejski Stadium or play at Highbury.
