While the League one side have not only lost three straight matches but also exited two other cup competitions during the past month, Brighton will resume their Premier League campaign inside the top half of the table.

Before the remarkable events of Qatar 2022 intervened, Brighton lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa, who were also their opponents in a 2-2 friendly draw earlier this month.

That defeat slightly dampened spirits after beating Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers in their two previous league matches.

In addition, the Seagulls had toppled Premier League leaders Arsenal in the EFL Cup third round, with Tariq Lamptey scoring the final goal in an impressive 3-1 victory at the Emirates.

Under former manager Graham Potter, an unfamiliar XI beat second-round opponents Forest Green Rovers 3-0 at the start of the season, all of which has led to the same stage where Brighton have been eliminated in each of the past two year to Manchester United and Leicester City respectively.

Dreams of giant-killing have been far from the thoughts of Charlton Athletic’s ailing squad, which has gone six matches without a win since progressing past Stevenage in the previous round.

Now under the tutelage of caretaker manager Anthony Hayes, Charlton have also suffered three defeats in a row following another League One reverse on Saturday, in which they let a lead slip to lose 2-1 against Bristol Rovers at The Valley.

Owner Thomas Sandgaard recently claimed that former manager Ben Garner had lost authority among his players, which led to the former Swindon head coach being dismissed at the start of December.

The final humiliation came at fourth-tier Stockport County, in an FA Cup second round replay which ended in a 3-1 defeat despite going ahead early on, with Charlton having already been knocked out of the EFL Trophy by Plymouth Argyle.

Familiar defensive weaknesses were to blame on both occasions, and Hayes will now have his hands full to organise a struggling side sufficiently to keep Brighton at bay.
