Albion’s back line can make the difference, according to a leading Sky Sports pundit.

Peter Beagrie is ready for a hard fought tie but backs the Seagulls to go through.

He told skysports.com: “Brighton should have plenty of confidence going into a two-legged clash with their arch rivals because they are the form team.

“They are better-equipped to win the tie over two legs because they combine solidity with potency.”
