Update
Preamble
A last push. A last effort to achieve something unique in the history of football. Yep, Brighton is two games from the single and the first Brighton team to win a major competition. (No, the victories won in 1960 and 1961 by the Susbad Royal Ulster Charity Cup.)
This is the good news. The bad news is that we will all die. Oh, and the first of those two games is against Manchester City's remarkable Pep Guardiola, a team that has scored only 61 goals in this season.
From a distance, it looks like Mission: Nah. But Swansea might have beaten City if VAR had been used in the quarter-finals, while Chelsea had led them to penalties in the Carabao Cup final in February. If Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy defend as never before; if Mat Ryan reminds us why he is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League; and if Glenn Murray is like Glenn Murray, then they could just succeed.
If that's not the case, City brings a quadruple game closer and nobody breaks loose. Where is the pleasure in all this?
The kickoff is given at 5.30pm. The winners will face Watford or Wolves in the final.
