    As we enter the latter rounds of the FA Cup, the probability of seeing all Premier League clashes increases and that is exactly what we have got in this game.

    The match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton will take place on the 28th of February at Molineux Stadium.

    The hosts are currently 8th in the Premier League on 38 points while the visitors are one place above them on 39 points.

    Wolves come into the match on the back of a 1-0 home win over Sheffield United in the Premier League on the weekend.

    Wolves were the heavy favourites to win the game but scored just a single goal, which came in the 30th minute.

    The victory over Sheffield United means Wolves have won 3 of their 4 most recent fixtures, all of which were played in the Premier League.

    There additional wins came over Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur away, both of which were excellent results for Wolves.

    Statistics show Wolves are undefeated in 10 of their 12 most recent home matches in all competitions.

    They are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 FA Cup games but have won only 2 of their 5 most recent FA Cup matches on home soil, one of which was a penalty shootout win over Bradford in a third round replay this season.

    Brighton make the trip to Molineux having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Everton in the Premier League on the weekend.

    With the score 0-0 at half time, it was Everton who took the lead in the 73rd minute and the damage was compounded when Brighton had a player sent off in the 81st minute.

    However, Brighton showed great spirit to score the equaliser in the 5th minute of added time.

    The draw with Everton means Brighton are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent games. There have been wins in the Premier League over Crystal Palace at home and Sheffield United away.

    Brighton did suffer a late 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, also in the Premier League.

    Trends show Brighton are undefeated in 5 of their last 7 away fixtures in all competitions. They have won each of their last 4 away FA Cup games and have scored 15 goals across those 4 matches.

    Team news: Wolves are without injured forward Matheus Cunha but he is the only confirmed absentee for the hosts.

    Brighton travel without suspended midfielder Billy Gilmour. Kaoru Mitoma, James Milner, and João Pedro are injured.

    This should be an exciting game to watch and the teams form means we should see both score and over 2.5 goals in total. There is just 1 point between the teams in the Premier League and this game could be just as close, with a draw and the possibility of penalties to decide the winner.
