Norwich vs Brighton

Brighton have progressed from eight of their last nine FA Cup third round ties, failing only against Sheffield Wednesday in 2019-20 in this run.

Norwich suffered their biggest FA Cup home defeat since a 0-5 loss to Arsenal back in January 1952, while Brighton have only produced two bigger away victories in the competition (6-0 v Cheltenham in December 1935 & 5-0 v Bath City in January 1967).

Norwich have failed to win any of their last 17 FA Cup games against sides from a higher division (D4 L13), since a 1-0 win at then top-flight side Stoke back in January 1982.

This is the first FA Cup meeting between Norwich and Brighton since January 2003, with the Canaries winning a third round tie 3-1 at Carrow Road.

Brighton are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Norwich in all competitions (W2 D2), keeping a clean sheet in each match. The last two meetings between the sides in the 2021-22 Premier League both finished 0-0.

When outside the top-flight themselves, Norwich are winless in their last 16 FA Cup matches against top tier opponents (D4 L12), since a 1-0 win at Stoke City in January 1982.

Brighton have progressed from seven of their last eight FA Cup third round ties, failing only against Sheffield Wednesday in 2019-20 in this run.

Brighton’s João Pedro has scored six goals in his last three FA Cup appearances, with all of these strikes coming away from home. He netted a hat-trick in his last such match against Sheffield United last season.
