Saturday sees an all-premier league affair in the fourth round of the FA Cup in the spotlight when Brighton competes against Chelsea.
Enzo Marescas Blues recaptured its place in the top 4 on Monday after winning against West Ham when they were confronted in front of a seagull team that licked their wounds after a 7-0 breakdown from Nottingham Forest last weekend .
After a bright start of the season for manager Fabian Hurzeler, the 31-year-old is under strong pressure from Brighton supporters after just two victories in the last 12 games, so that the FA Cup may be a welcome distraction.
“It’s about showing a reaction and not talking too much about the last game,” said Hurzeler about her approach to the game on Saturday.
“Work hard, give fans the things they deserve. We all apologized after the game, I apologized for this performance after the game and I do it again.
“But now it’s about looking in the future, now it’s about holding together.”
“I think criticism is important for the development,” added Hurzeler. “But in the end we can only achieve things together, so we need fans.
In the previous round Norwich, the seagulls followed 4-0 against the championship, but against the blues with a much more difficult task against which they have lost each of their last four meetings and only won one of the last 11 meetings in all competitions.
Her youngest was a 4-2 victory for Chelsea on Stamford Bridge, in which Cole Palmer stole the show by scoring all four goals.

Chelse is for the game The Amex without both strikers, with Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu hugging against West Ham.
Guiu is for a long expression with less serious spells, although he will miss the trip to the south coast. Your absences should pave the way for Christopher Nkunku to get a rare trip for the blues.
Mykhailo Mudryk, Wesley Fofana, Omari Kellyman, Benoit Badishile and Romeo Lavia do not remain available for selection, although the latter, according to Maresca, has returned.
Brighton is still without a number of players, including Jason Steele, Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner and Solly March, while Mats Wieffer, Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari and Pervis Estupinan.
In January, Eiran Cashin is signed to make his debut for the club from Derby after moving.
