'Brighton could have scored more goals' — Lampard
Chelsea lose again, but Frank Lampard blames chemistry.
Brighton have never won a competitive match at Wembley Stadium, drawing once and losing four of their five visits. This run started against Manchester United in the 1983 FA Cup final, drawing 2-2 and then losing 4-0 in a replay.

Kaoru Mitoma has either scored (2) or assisted (2) a goal in all four of his FA Cup games for Brighton. The last player to be involved in a goal in each round of the competition, from the third round to the semi-final was Romelu Lukaku in 2017/18.
Predicted line-ups:
Brighton: Sanchez, Gross, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan, Caicedo, Mac Allister, March, Enciso, Mitoma, Welbeck.
Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst.
