Having got the job done in a scrappy encounter in Lancashire on Monday night, it's down to the opposite end of the country on Saturday to resume our cup campaign against "the other Albion". With a decent cushion between them and the relegation zone, Brighton may well be taking this encounter seriously, while in contrast, for the Baggies it's likely to be a case of resting key players again. Nevertheless, it's been a long time since Albion have squared up against Brighton as an underdog, and with no real pressure or expectation, an upset might be on the cards.
