Cherries at home to Brighton in FA Cup

AFC Bournemouth have been handed a home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion in the third round of the FA Cup.

The two top flight sides will meet just two weeks after facing each other in the Premier League. 

It will also be the second cup fixture between the teams in two seasons, with the Cherries knocking out Chris Hughton's side in the Carabao Cup last year.  

The tie is scheduled to take place on the weekend of 5th January 2019, with a specific date to be confirmed in due course. 

Ticket details for the tie will be released in the coming week.
