Anthony Knockaert and Jurgen Locadia fire Brighton into last eight at Derby's expense

The Premier League side proved too good at the Amex Stadium

FA Cup fifth round draw: Chelsea are set to play Man Utd

Brighton are into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the second-successive season after seeing off Derby County in the last-16.

First-half goals from Anthony Knockaert and Jurgen Locadia were enough for the Seagulls to secure their progression with Ashley Cole's late goal - a first-ever in the competition - proving to be just a consolation.

Here's how it all played out at the Amex Stadium:

Could we see the first mini-shock of the FA Cup fifth round in today's early fixture? Frank Lampard's Derby - challenging for promotion in the Championship - have already knocked Premier League Southampton out of the competition. And it wouldn't be hugely surprising if they were to do the same to Brighton.

Chris Hughton's side are on a poor run of form in the league and will be wary of underestimating today's visitors. The winner will take their place in the last eight of the FA Cup.

Changes

Brighton have made eight changes to the team that fell to a 3-1 defeat against Burnley last weekend. Top scorer Glenn Murray is not even in the squad.

Derby make three changes: David Nugent, Tom Huddlestone and Craig Bryson come in. Ashley Cole, meanwhile, is on the bench.

Frank Lampard might feel he has an advantage in the FA Cup. As a player, he won it four times with Chelsea. That experience could serve his side well as they attempt to reach the latter stages of the competition. With several of the top Premier Clubs already knocked out, this is a real opportunity for Derby.

Chris Hughton has been speaking to the media ahead of kick off:

Some of the bigger sides have gone out, but for us it's always about taking it one round at a time. It's a great opportunity for somebody - we're part of that group of teams.

We're the favourites this weekend and we understand that. We'd always rather be playing at home against a side outside the top flight - but they're in really good form at the moment.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

2 minutes

Veteran right back Bruno links up nicely with Knockaert on the right and the hosts win the first corner of the game. It's played short and the ball that eventually comes into the box evades everyone.
