National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Stoke City or Brighton & Hove Albion that keep their silverware dream alive.

Stoke City have less rest than Brighton & Hove Albion in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Millwall, was also a home game here at Bet365 Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Stoke City form and stats

Stoke participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 5th round.

5-4-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Stoke City so far this season.

The Stoke City followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Bet365 Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Millwall. Jagielka, defender, was given a rating of 7.34/10 in that game, top of the team. Jagielka won 10 of 14 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Swansea City and winning 3-1.

There will be little rest for Stoke City after this match as they are travelling to Sunderland for a Championship game in only four days.

The Stoke City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. Stoke have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.

5 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Brighton & Hove Albion playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion have lots to remedy after their out-of-character defeat (0-1) to Fulham in their previous match, played in front of their own supporters. March got a match rating of 8.33 in that game, top player of the team. March hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace's stadium before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting West Ham United in just four days.

Brighton's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Stoke City have not lost in the last 5 fixtures (3-2-0) against Brighton & Hove Albion.
