SHOCKING REVELATION;Brighton vs Nottingham Forest kick-off match time and venue has been rescheduled few minutes ago..

This is the first-ever meeting between the Seagulls and the Garibaldis in the FA Cup.

Brighton & Hove Albion are all set to host Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup 2024-25 quarter-final. In the round of 16 of the oldest club cup competition, the Seagulls defeated the Carabao Cup winners, Newcastle United. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest took down Ipswich Town.

Brighton will be at their home and will surely be looking to use it to their advantage. The Seagulls will be keen on getting to the semifinals of the tournament. It is not going to be an easy contest for them. At this stage, a loss means elimination from the tournament. It was also a close game in the round of 16 for them.

Nottingham Forest won their fifth round FA Cup match on penalties after their contest against Ipswich Town ended in a 1-1 draw in normal and as well as in extra time. The Garibaldis will have to defend well and come up with a better attack rate if they want to get through to the semifinals.

Players to Watch

Georginio Rutter (Brighton)

The 22-year-old has done well for the Seagulls in the FA Cup. Georhinio Rutter has scored three goals in three matches in the cup competition for Brighton. Although he did not score a goal in the last FA Cup game for his side, he is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)

In the absence of Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga will be looking to step up here. With good potential, the Swedish forward has done well for the Garibaldis this season.
