England FA Cup | Wolverhampton VS Brighton; Thursday, 29 February at 03:45 GMT +8

Wolverhampton faced a challenging match against Sheffield, but their victory secured their 8th place in the elite competition. This victory also helped them stay in good shape and gain confidence for the crucial FA Cup 1/8 final against Brighton, which could be the only way for Wolves to reach the European competition.

Brighton’s Premier League season has been weaker than the previous one, but they have a direct place in the 1/8 Europa League finals and are still in the FA Cup, making this one of their best seasons in history. With a strong tradition at their stadium, they hope for a place in the 1/4 finals.

Cunha is the only player currently absent due to injury at Wolves, and the team’s good health is a key factor in their increasing success.

Brazilian Joao Pedro, March and Milner, and Japanese Mitoma are all sidelined due to thigh injuries, while Japanese attack player Mitoma is questionable due to a back injury.

Predicted lineups:

Wolverhampton

Goalkeeper: Jose Sa
Defenders: Toti Gomes, Craig Dawson, Max Kilman
