Coventry look well out of their depth at Brighton

FA Cup fifth round
3pm Saturday
Coventry’s FA Cup run has come at a price and the Sky Blues arrive at Brighton after three straight defeats in Sky Bet League Two.

They were behind at half-time in all three of those losses, to Accrington, Forest Green and Colchester, and it may not take long for their Premier League hosts to make the breakthrough at the Amex Stadium.

Chris Hughton’s squad looks deeper after the January window and Brighton took the lead in the 14th, eighth and 32nd minutes of their last three league games.

Recommendation
