Chris Hughton speaks. Glenn Murray is injured, apparently. “We have a few injuries which have been unfortunate. It’s affected the bench we have. But it’s a great opportunity for us to get to the next round. Yes, we’re hopeful for [Glenn] for the next game. Occasionally [injuries] go against you and unfortunately it’s this week. He was instrumental in the last round.”
On Derby: “They’re in very good form, the fact that they’ve knocked out who they have knocked out [Southampton in the last round], Frank has got them playing in a very exciting way. It’s exactly the same as every other game we have here. We expect a tough game.”
Only one of these teams have won the FA Cup before … Derby County in 1946, who beat Charlton 4-1 at Wembley in the first Cup final after the war. What a joyous day that must have been! Brighton made it to the final in 1983 and took Manchester United to a replay, which they lost 4-0.
