Chris Hughton is having selection headaches after the Brighton boss juggles Premier League and FA Cup

Brighton boss Chris Hughton believes his side's FA Cup run is giving him a Premier League selection headache.

Hughton made nine changes to his starting XI as Albion progressed to the quarter-finals of the cup competition for the first time in 32 years by beating League Two Coventry 3-1 on Saturday.

Debutant Jurgen Locadia, defender Connor Goldson and recent loan signing Leonardo Ulloa were among the men brought in and they all found the net, while other peripheral members of Albion's squad also staked claims for more regular league action.

Brighton will now turn their attention back to the scrap for top-flight survival and Hughton acknowledges he has been given some difficult decisions to make ahead of next weekend's clash with fellow strugglers Swansea.
