Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"It will be a big challenge of course. I think this game will be the hardest of the season in Brighton.

"They've only lost one game in 19 and usually at home they are strong.

"They are one of the strongest teams in this competition, in the top two or three.

"But we are Sheffield Wednesday so we go there to fight and try to put our football on the pitch."

When it comes to the league, Sheffield Wednesday have very respectable record when facing Brighton.

After they lost 2-1 in October, they will not want two losses in the league against them for the first time ever.

When you look at the foundation and the structure of the club, Brighton is ready to be a Premier League club.

They've had a great run this season and, fingers crossed, they can keep it together until the end of the season.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex:

"Sheffield Wednesday are very good opposition. Last season they were exceptional. They have a very good side, with regards to the quality, and a very good way of playing. 

"They know how to get results. It is a team we know very well, from our exploits against them this season and last. I hope it is the right type of game for us.

"We came away from a defeat at Preston knowing it can happen in this division if you are not playing at the levels you need to play at. It was not a game we deserved to get anything from, albeit that Preston had two shots on target and we had better possession."

Heading to the game? Already taken your seat? Confident one, or both, of these teams finally reach the Premier League this season?

Brighton have never had a better defensive record than this at this stage of a league season - perhaps the main reason why the Seagulls are flying high near the top of the Championship again this term.

Striker Sam Winnall makes his first start for the Owls after joining from Barnsley in the only change to the starting XI - he replaces Steven Fletcher who drops to the bench.

Sheffield Wednesday: Westwood, Hunt, Lees, Loovens, Pudil, Wallace, Hutchinson, Bannan, Reach, Forestieri, Winnall.

Substitutes: Sasso, Wildsmith, Jones, Fletcher, McManaman, Hooper, Palmer.

For the first time in 73 league games, Brighton captain Bruno will be missing from their starting line-up with a groin strain.

There are five changes in all made by Chris Hughton after the loss at Preston, with Lewis Dunk, Tomer Hemed, Jamie Murphy, Sebastien Pocognoli and Dale Stephens coming in.

Brighton: Stockdale; Goldson, Duffy, Dunk, Pocognoli; Knockaert, Stephens, Norwood, Murphy; Hemed, Murray.  

Substitutes: Maenpaa, Hunt, Huenemeier, Sidwell, Kayal, Skalak, March.

One of the easiest times to find a contrast of emotions between two football teams is after a Championship play-off semi-final.

These two clubs were in that position last season, and it was Wednesday who were celebrating after a 3-1 aggregate win which took them to Wembley...

Brighton, meanwhile, were left to contemplate a 34th consecutive season outside English football's top division...

The Owls lost to Hull in the play-off final, but both sides have emerged as promotion contenders again in 2016-17.

The chance to go top of the Championship and to cement a play-off position.

That's what's on offer tonight as second-placed Brighton take on a Sheffield Wednesday side that sit sixth in the table.
