This is the first FA Cup meeting between Norwich and Brighton since January 2003, with the Canaries winning a third round tie 3-1 at Carrow Road.

Brighton are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Norwich in all competitions (W2 D2), keeping a clean sheet in each match. The last two meetings between the sides in the 2021-22 Premier League both finished 0-0.

When outside the top-flight themselves, Norwich are winless in their last 16 FA Cup matches against top tier opponents (D4 L12), since a 1-0 win at Stoke City in January 1982.

Brighton have progressed from seven of their last eight FA Cup third round ties, failing only against Sheffield Wednesday in 2019-20 in this run.

Brighton’s João Pedro has scored six goals in his last three FA Cup appearances, with all of these strikes coming away from home. He netted a hat-trick in his last such match against Sheffield United last season.
