    Brighton win a free-kick but the delivery from the left is really poor. The cross is easily cut out.

    Shane Ferguson then sets off on a direct run down the left and is brought down. The Millwall fans near the touchline leap out of their seats and call for a yellow card.

    It's just a free-kick and it comes to nothing.

    Brighton have been drawn against the lowest ranked team, we needed to play a strong side, and we have. Turn up, and Brighton could win this easily. Don’t turn up, and we could be in trouble, especially with their home crowd.
