Brighton host Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarter-finals with the aim of reaching the final four and moving one step closer to the final at Wembley. Fabian Hurzeler ’s men will also hope to avenge their worst result of the year when they were beaten 7-0 by Forest in the Premier League a month ago.

While the Premier League takes a break in the first weekend after the international break, the FA Cup takes center stage in England as the last eight teams left hope to book a spot in the semifinals at London's Wembley Stadium.

Nottingham Forest have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the 13th time in their history, most recently doing so in 1991 when they reached the final (lost to Tottenham). Nottingham Forest are the first team ever to win three penalty shootouts in a single season in the FA Cup.
