Brighton boss Gus Poyet admits the prospect of hosting Newcastle in the FA Cup fourth round is a big incentive ahead of the replay at Wrexham.

Conference leaders Wrexham proved they will be no pushovers after holding the Seagulls to a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium last Saturday but Poyet is confident his side have the quality to get through.

"We respect Wrexham a lot and we'll go to Wales to try to win the replay as any other game," he told the club's official website.

"We know it is going to be difficult there but we put ourselves in this situation so we now have to sort it out.

"The FA Cup is the best cup competition in the world and we want to get through, especially knowing the winners will play Newcastle.

"That could be a great day at the Amex for Albion fans, so we will do everything possible to win the game and get through."
