Arsene Wenger has urged Arsenal*to be on guard against improving Albion at the Amex.
The Gunners boss is fully aware of the Seagulls' three-goal showing against Ipswich last night.
And he still recalls how his side were*made to battle before winning 3-2 at the Amex in the fourth round of the FA Cup in 2013.
Arsenal return at the same stage of the competition on Sunday.
Wenger said this morning: "We have to keep their strikers quiet.
"In the Cup you have to be ready from the start and people like that can always surprise you if you're not ready.
"It's always difficult in the Championship away from home.
"I remember it was a very difficult game two years ago against a team who were on the way up with Gus Poyet.
"We needed to dig deep to get out with a positive result.
"Chris Hughton will give them his experience and his competence of course. He knows how to prepare a team for a challenge like this."
German star Mesut Ozil is likely to start at the Amex.
Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck are both ruled out with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Hector Bellerin doubtful.
