Brighton boss Poyet excited about Villa Cup draw

Brighton boss Gus Poyet says the club is buzzing after drawing Aston Villa in the next round of the FA Cup.

"All the players and club and fans are very excited about it," he said.

"It's going to be one of the big ones. The club are looking forward to the game.

"It's going to be tough but it's important for the players to have the opportunity to play against Aston villa.

"Everyone at the club, I have to say, they wanted to play away against a Premiership club so I think it's perfect for everyone."
