Millwall to face Brighton in FA Cup quarter-final

Millwall are set to face Brighton in this year's FA Cup quarter-final.

The Lions reached the last eight with a 1-0 win away at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, thanks to Murray Wallace’s early goal.

Wallace had also been the hero in round four, scoring a stoppage time winner to knock out Premier League Everton at The Den.

After last weekend’s win, manager Neil Harris said that reaching the quarter-final was “like a cup final” in itself for his side.

At 20th in the Championship, Millwall are the lowest ranked team left in the competition, but have regularly performed above expectations in the cup in recent years, reaching the quarter-final two seasons ago, a semi-final in 2013, and finishing as runners-up to Manchester United back in 2004.

They have also picked up a reputation as giant killers in the process, having won five of their last seven ties against Premier League opposition.
