The opposition
The Brighton youngsters have played one game so far in the Vertu Trophy this season, earning a draw in the capital against Barnet, losing the subsequent penalty shootout.
Josh Robertson hit a great strike to open the scoring at The Hive before Callum Stead equalised in the second half. The League Two side gained an extra point after Freddie Simmonds' penalty flew high over the bar.
Albion haven't won their last three Premier League 2 matches after Joe Belmont (pictured above by Simon Roe) scored three goals in two games and was nominated for the competition's Player of the Month award in September.
