Prediction: 1-0
Brighton & Hove Albion
Bournemouth and Brighton, the two Premier League sides, face each other at Vitality Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of the FA Cup round 4. The Cherries are a team with two faces and they produce much better displays at home than on the travels. Eddie Howe’s troops often struggle in matches against top-table sides, but they are considered hot favourites to win Wednesday’s football game against Watford. The Seagulls, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travellers and seeing that they were beaten by Bournemouth in their last meeting at Vitallity Stadium, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Callum Wilson has overcome his injury and he is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts against the Seagulls. Taking everything into account, we believe that home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Joshua King):
Joshua King is a Norway international who plays for Premier League side Bournemouth as a striker. King was born in Oslo on January 15, 1992 and he started his career at the youth team of Romsas. In 2006 the Norwegian footballer moved to Valerenga and two years later he joined Premier League giants Manchester United. Nonetheless, he did not see any game action at Old Trafford as he was immediately sent on loan to Preston. Joshua King played for the likes of Borussia M’gladbach, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers on loan as well before signing a permanent deal with the Riversiders in January, 2013. The pacey attacker scored only three goals in 56 appearances in the league for Blackburn Rovers, but in 2015 Bournemouth chiefs decided to bring him to Vitality Stadium. Joshua King impressed in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign, with the Norwegian striker scoring 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Cherries. King provided two assists for his teammates in the process as well.
Highlighted Team (Brighton & Hove Albion):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.

Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past.
