Albion have been drawn at home to Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup for the second time in two years on January 24 or 25.

The Seagulls ran the Gunners close under Gus Poyet at the Amex at the same stage of the competition in 2013, losing 3-2 to an 85th minute strike by Theo Walcott.

The lucrative tie for Albion is bound to attract live television coverage and has granted new manager Chris Hughton's wish for a Premier League club at home.

Arsenal's visit will be the second home game of Hughton's reign. The first is on January 17 against Brentford, Albion's third round victims on Saturday.
