Both teams will fancy their chances today. Millwall have a very good record here against Premier League opposition. We know it is an intimidating crowd but Brighton had two very good results in the Premier League which should see them safe. That is why Hughton has named his strongest possible team today.

The atmosphere is already building at The Den with 10 minutes to go until kick off.

Chris Hughton speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "With FA Cup semi-finals, there are a lot of good players who never get the opportunity to get there, so we know how big this game is and we will do everything to get there.

"The team is a sign of how seriously we are taking this. We are respectful that this is a quarter-final and the club and supporters deserve us giving it our best shot."

We're now live on BBC One.

Gary has got his 'Alan Shearer not winning the FA Cup' joke in early.

Can the Lions roar again? They have devoured the last five top-flight teams who've dared to tip-toe into their Den.

They've won 31 FA Cup games since 2004 - the fifth best record in the country. It's their 11th quarter-final while outside the top flight. Only Southampton can better that.

But Brighton are a different proposition to the Premier peacocks who've preened there and been picked off.

Their players were in the Championship just two years ago. They know what it takes to win at Millwall. It is over 11 years since they lost there. They are hungry.

Despite crucial recent wins in their relegation battles both have league concerns, but Brighton can more comfortably pick their strongest side ahead of the international break.

Millwall will be without key players injured, suspended and cup-tied. That could prove the difference.

Manchester City, Watford and Wolves await in the last four after their wins yesterday.

The fans of those clubs are already planning their trips to Wembley.

The semi-final draw takes place after this match.

If the FA Cup isn't your thing then don't forget there are two Premier League games today.

Liverpool play Fulham as they try and regain top spot before Everton host Chelsea later.

Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy are two experienced defenders who have come up through the leagues. They will be used to the ball coming into the box and having to be physical. I think Brighton's footballing ability will see them through.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton says his side are still favourites, despite Millwall's Cup pedigree.

They are bidding for their first semi-final appearance since they lost the 1983 final.

The Seagulls have had an upturn of form in recent weeks. They've won three of their last four games, including the last two.

"I went to see [Millwall] on Wednesday - they're a good and physical side.

"We'll start as favourites, but they're the home team on the back of a scalp in the previous round.

"I don't see this game as being any easier than last weekend [against Crystal Palace]."

You can bet Chris Hughton will have nailed it into his players what it's going to be like coming here to get through the tie. Brighton will be under no illusion. The atmosphere will be electric and Millwall have a fantastic record in the FA Cup.

The Lions make two changes, both enforced, with the cup-tied Ben Marshall and Ben Thompson making way for Shaun Williams and Aiden O'Brien.

Thompson scored twice in Wednesday's win over Birmingham.

Millwall: Martin, Romeo, Pearce, Cooper, Ferguson, Leonard, Wallace, Tunnicliffe, O'Brien, Williams, Gregory.

Subs: Amos, McLaughlin, Meredith, Hutchinson, Elliott, Morison, Skalak.

Chris Hughton makes just one alteration to the side that beat Crystal Palace last time out, with Beram Kayal replacing the suspended Yves Bissouma.

Anthony Knockaert has two goals and two assists in his last five FA Cup appearances and scored a stunner against Crystal Palace last week. He starts.

Brighton: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo, Kayal, Stephens, Propper, Jahanbakhsh, Murray, Knockaert.

Subs: Button, Bong, Bruno, Burn, Izquierdo, March, Locadia.

The Lions have made a habit of knocking out Premier League sides too.

They have won their last five FA Cup home matches against top-flight opposition, beating Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester and Everton.

The win over the Toffees was a thrilling 3-2 victory earlier this season in the fourth round. The winner came in the 94th minute...

Millwall have the pedigree to cause an upset today.

This is their third FA Cup quarter-final in the last seven years - more than any other side from outside the Premier League in that time.

All 11 of Millwall's last eight appearances have come while outside the top flight, only Southampton (13) have reached this stage more often as a league side.

Before the draw came out, both teams would have liked to draw each other. Millwall are at home and they will want to use that to their advantage and get the crowd behind them. Brighton are going to have to be strong mentality to be up for the task.

You'll be able to watch this game live on BBC One or by clicking play at the top of this page.

Both managers have kept it simple.

Millwall have made just two changes from their last league game. Cup-tied Ben Marshall and Ben Thompson are replaced by Shaun Williams and Aiden O'Brien.

Chris Hughton's only change sees Beram Kayal replace the suspended Yves Bissouma. Glenn Murray starts up front.

Millwall boss Neil Harris is expecting it to be a loud in south east London today.

The Lions are formidable at home in this competition, losing just one of their last 15 home games and winning their last five ties against top-flight sides at The Den.

"The Den will be rocking at the weekend, even more so now on the back of [Wednesday's win at Birmingham), everyone will be more vibrant and positive," he at his pre-match press conference.

"Brighton have experienced players and certainly a top manager.

"They'll come to want to beat us, but we'll enjoy it and what I do know is my players will have a right go because they want to be in the semi-final."

Today it's Millwall v Brighton at The Den.

On paper, this looks like another great cup tie. It sees a Premier League side up against a Championship team away in a hostile atmosphere.
