Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to BBC Radio Sussex after his side progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup: "I thought we started really good in the game. We controlled the game, were leading 2-0, then they got a silly goal. We have to learn from these moments.

Joao Pedro was in training with Brighton on Wednesday, but manager Fabian Hurzeler was not ready to confirm the striker’s fitness for this weekend’s action. The 22-year-old was not involved last weekend as the Seagulls were held to a goalless draw by Ipswich and he missed out again on Wednesday night.
