Albion host Hull City in the FA Cup Monday, and the two clubs have previously met twice in England's prestigious competition before this encounter, with the Seagulls winning on both occasions.
Only once have the sides met in the Cup on the south coast, when Brighton edged the 1985 clash 1-0, and the following season the Tigers were once again knocked out by Albion, this time 3-2 on their own patch.
Brighton boast an impressive home record against Hull City beginning back in 1960, although the first meeting at the Goldstone ended in a 1-1- draw.
Two years later Albion came out on top with a 2-1 victory while City took the spoils when they claimed their first win on Brighton's turf in 1965 by the same scoreline.
That victory is Hull’s solitary away success in this fixture, and their winless streak now stands at 20 games at the home of the Seagulls.
The Tigers' last visit was at the Amex back in February 2013, when Albion held on to seal a 1-0 win, with former Spain international Vicente firing a late winner.
