Brighton & Hove Albion face Newcastle United in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler says his side will give everything on the pitch but can’t guarantee a title. Brighton’s last, and only, major trophy came more than a century ago when they defeated Aston Villa 1-0 in the 1910 FA Charity Shield (later known as FA Community Shield) Newcastle striker Alexander Isak could be fit for the game after missing Wednesday’s 2-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool with a groin problem. Isak has been in sublime form in the league this season and has scored 21 goals whilst providing five assists in 30 games played across all competitions. The German head coach labelled Isak as a ‘special player’ and said his side wouldn’t be gambling by not preparing to face the 25-year-old heading into the game. He added: ‘You can’t gamble and say he won’t play. I am sure they will try everything to make him fit forThe game, and we have to be ready for that,’ he added.
