Hughton wary of Lions threat
Brighton boss Chris Hughton has warned his players not to take anything for granted when they take on Millwall in the sixth round of the FA Cup.
The Seagulls reached the last eight of the competition last season, where they were beaten by Manchester United, and they have repeated that run this term.
We will start the game as favourites, because we are a Premier League team.

Next up a testing trip to The Den to take on a Millwall side who defeated Everton 3-2 in the fourth round of the competition, with Hughton cautious about his side being viewed as favourites by most pundits.
He told his club's official website: "We will start the game as favourites, because we are a Premier League team.
"But the balance is are they are playing at home and they are on the back of beating Everton at home in a previous round, which shows the levels they are capable of playing at."
Brighton are available at 6/5 to win in 90 minutes on Sunday and are 11/2 to claim a 1-0 victory, with Glenn Murray priced at 7/5 to score at any time in the game.
Meanwhile, Hughton was keen to embrace the challenge of trying to reach the semi-finals, which he views as being almost as big an achievement as having secured promotion to the Premier League.
He added: "Clubs at our level are always going to find it difficult to get to the latter stages of these competitions because of the quality of the other Premier league clubs and the depth their squads have.
"To have got to this stage with an opportunity to get through to the last four is right up there during my period of time here."
