Brighton captain Lewis Dunk is confident they have the experience to handle their FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United.

In 2019, Brighton lost their last semifinal Wembley showdown 1-0 to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

After Sunday's draw paired them with Erik ten Hag's United in next month's semifinal, Dunk says they are on the verge of bigger and better things under Roberto De Zerbi.

"We're in a different place as a club and a group and we go there confident in our ability to get into a final," Dunk said after Sunday's 5-0 win over League Two Grimsby in the quarter-finals.

"It has been a big change and you can see that by the way we are performing and where we are in the table. We go into every game and we know exactly what we're doing, what we're about, and we know we can beat anyone on our day."

On manager Roberto De Zerbi, Dunk continued: "He just gives us confidence and puts pure belief in our ability during the training week. We go out there confident as anything."
