We have to enjoy Brighton here, I expect an easy win from them.

Stoke have since been relegated from the Premier League been in trouble. They have always been in the bottom half of the Championship in the 4 seasons since they were relegated. Something needs to change otherwise next season or even this season they could be relegated to League One. The campaign is mediocre and in the last round they lost at home against Millwall. This demonstrates how bad they are and not even the home factor has helped them. They reached this round of the FA Cup, it's true, but we have to understand why. They played against two league two teams and did nothing more than their duty. I can't see any good things for them in this tie.

Brighton on the other hand is experiencing the best time in its history. Since Tony Bloom (he's an inspiration to me) took over the club, everything has changed. He is a well-known sports bettor and runs the club based on numbers. Players are analyzed a lot before being hired and this is bringing results. This season they have signed the exciting Italian coach, De Zerbi, and they are playing some amazing football. They like to have the ball and play as equals against anyone. This season they are looking to achieve the team's best ranking ever in the Premier League. To get here, unlike Stoke, they didn't have an easy path, they eliminated Middlesbrough who, unlike Stoke, have a very good campaign in the championship and then eliminated the strong Liverpool.

In addition to the huge difference in technical quality, the teams arrive at a very different time. Brighton has the upper hand on all counts.

我们必须在这里享受布莱顿，我预计他们能轻松取胜。

斯托克城此后一直在英超降级，陷入困境。降级后的4个赛季，他们一直处于英冠后半区。有些事情需要改变，否则下个赛季甚至这个赛季他们都可能降级到英甲。赛季表现平平，上轮他们在主场输给了米尔沃尔。这表明他们有多糟糕，甚至家庭因素也没有帮助他们。他们进入了本轮足总杯，这是真的，但我们必须了解原因。他们与两个联赛的两支球队交手，除了他们的职责外什么也没做。在这场领带中，我看不出对他们有任何好处。

另一方面，布莱顿正在经历其历史上最好的时光。自从托尼·布鲁姆（他是我的灵感来源）接手俱乐部以来，一切都变了。他是一位著名的体育博彩玩家，并根据数字经营俱乐部。玩家在被选中之前会被分析很多雇用了，这带来了结果。本赛季他们签下了令人兴奋的意大利教练德泽尔比，他们正在踢一场精彩的足球。他们喜欢控球并平等对抗任何人。本赛季，他们希望获得球队在英超联赛中的最佳排名。来到这里，与斯托克城不同，他们走的路并不容易，他们淘汰了米德尔斯堡，而米德尔斯堡与斯托克城不同，在冠军赛中表现非常出色，然后又淘汰了强大的利物浦。

除了技术实力的巨大差异外，两支球队到达的时间也大不相同。布莱顿在所有方面都占据上风。
