Prediction: Ipswich Town 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
The Premier League's draw specialists could serve up another here with Brighton set to be tested by a fearless Ipswich team who gave Chelsea and Fulham some big surprises recently. Brighton's form has not been awful by any means, with the cup win coming after two impressive draws, but Hurzeler's men are winless in eight league games, and this could be an awkward fixture for them, after also being held in the reverse.
