Brighton learn FA Cup fate after third round draw

Albion have discovered their opponents in the FA Cup 3rd round.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side were ball six during the draw.

The club has avoided clashes with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

They will take on Norwich City in the 3rd round at Carrow Road.

The third round of the FA Cup is set to start on January 10, with matches to be played across the weekend until January 13

Albion could win £115,000 from the competition prize fund with victory over Norwich City as well as a spot in the fourth round.

Last season Albion reached the 5th round of the competition after wins against Stoke City and Sheffield United.

However, their run came to an end after being knocked out by Wolves 1-0 at the Molineux Stadium.

Mario Lemina netted the decisive goal in just the second minute of the game and despite dominating possession, Albion were unable to find a leveller.

Crawley Town have already exited the competition after being beaten by Lincoln City 4-3 in the second round.
