Brighton v Nottingham Forest LIVE: Forest win dramatic penalty shootout to seal FA Cup semi-final spot
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.
Forest will be the favourites to progress to the next round which would be a fine reward for their outstanding season. Nuno Espirito Santo has led his team up to third in the Premier League table and they will have eyes on qualifying for the Champions League.
Should they be victorious at the Amex Stadium, Forest will reach their first FA Cup semi-final since 1991 while for Brighton they are seeking to reach a first final in this competition since 1983, although they have made two semi-finals in the past six seasons.
