Brighton

Brighton's football this season has been pretty solid. The Seagulls are fighting for a place in the European Cup zone, currently in seventh position in the EPL standings with 47 points. Newcastle has the same number of points, so the Gulls could move up the standings a lot in the next round. As for the performance of Fabian Hürzelera's team, they beat the Magpies in the last 16, but without extra time, they lost 2:1.

Nottingham

Nottingham's having an outstanding season. The coaching staff have done a great job of getting the team to play well, and now they're one of the main contenders for the Champions League. But with a spot like that, the Foresters aren't going to rest on their laurels. Their main aim is to finish second, if not to win the league title.

In the FA Cup, Nottingham faced quite modest opponents, with whom they had no problems — 2:0 over Luton Town, 3:2 over Exeter City and 2:1 over Ipswich.
