HT
A dismal first half
There's been very little for us to shout about in what's been a disappointing opening 45 minutes for the Cherries. We go into the break 2-0 down, so a big second half performance is needed!
41'
Locadia hits the post
Another chance for Brighton as Bong's cross from the left wing is headed onto the post by Locadia. It's been a poor first half from the Cherries so far.
34'
Bissouma doubles the lead
Bournemouth lose possession half way up the pitch and Yves Bissouma capitalises with a long-range strike going in off the left post. It's a great goal to put the away side 2-0 up.

28'
Mousset puts it over
A great chance for Bournemouth as Steve Cook sends it forward to Ibe, who takes it well and gets a shot away. Brighton debutant Jason Steele saves low and Mousset puts the rebound over the bar from close range. It should have been the opener!
21'
Yellow for Stephens
Dale Stephens goes into the book for a late challenge on Ibe as the Cherries looked to break.
18'
The new man in action!
16'
Lovely skill from Ibe!

10'
First chance for the Cherries
It's been a quiet opening ten minutes, culminating in Jack Simpson heading over from Ryan Fraser's delivery.
We've seen some nice touches from Clyne and Taylor, but no major chances for either side so far!
KO
Here we go!
The teams are out and we're starting the first half attacking the Colmar Construction Ted MacDougall South Stand. Come on Cherries!

We'll be bringing you text updates throughout the game here on the live blog as well! Kick-off is fast approaching.
12:07
How buzzing are you to see these two?
A debut for Nathaniel Clyne, as well as a first start for Kyle Taylor and a return to the starting line-up for Marc Pugh? I thought Christmas was last month!
In our last ten meetings with Brighton & Hove Albion in all competitions, we've won six games and drawn four, so we'll be looking to keep that good form going today!
Don't forget, a draw would force a replay at Brighton in this tournament, so a win would certainly be the ideal result.
11:40
One to watch for Brighton
Anthony Knockaert is always a danger man for the Seagulls, but the Brighton Argus' Albion reporter, Andy Naylor, highlighted Beram Kayal as one to look out for when he spoke to us for today's match-day programme. Here's what he had to say on the Israeli midfielder:
"He's a very energetic player who gets up and down the pitch. He doesn't score many goals but the ones he has scored have been absolutely priceless."
11:34
A debut for Clyne!
We’re looking forward to seeing this man in a Bournemouth
shirt for the first time this afternoon as he’s among the starting line-up! Let’s
give him a warm welcome!
Not to be overlooked, Kyle Taylor is also making his first senior start for the Cherries!
Manager Eddie Howe told the press yesterday that he will be
making a number of changes to the starting line-up for this afternoon’s cup
tie.
Emerson Hyndman and Matt Worthington have both returned from
loan spells at Hibernian and Forest Green Rovers respectively, so could be in
contention to play.
As for injury news, Adam Smith remains side-lined with a
knee injury, while for Brighton Bernardo, Mathew Ryan, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh
are the confirmed absentees.
Team news will be released in ten minutes.
11:10
Get clued up with Zoe and Kris!
11:00
VAR in use
Video Assistant Referee will once again be used in today's FA Cup game, with the technology set to be implemented fully in the Premier League next season.
10:50
Speaking of new signings...
4th January 2019 was a busy 24 hours for the club, as we got not one but two deals across the line!
Alongside Nathaniel Clyne, also arriving from Liverpool was young forward Dominic Solanke on a permanent transfer.
Both are in contention to feature in today's squad, so keep an eye out for team news at 11:30am!
10:40
Clyne's shirt number confirmed
You might have noticed that we confirmed the loan signing of Nathaniel Clyne yesterday until the end of the season.
We've had his shirt number printed and confirmed, and our new right-back will be wearing the number 23 for the rest of the campaign!
