Hughton admits it is exciting to be playing in such a fixture and says his players will be up for the game.
He said: "The motivation is very easy.

"To be playing in a high profile game and a very meaningful game, for this football club it's very exciting and one we're delighted to be involved in."
Hughton feels Brighton will have to at least match their performance against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals last month, when they lost 1-0 at Wembley, to have a chance of getting a result.
He said: "When you speak about City you can't speak about one player as they have so many threats and so many good players.

"Fortunately we had experience of playing them recently in the semi-final. We will have to get somewhere near that type of performance to give ourselves any chance of getting a result.
"They are top of the division and Carabao Cup winners and FA Cup finalists for a reason.
"They have top, top players and we will have to be at our best."
