BLACKBURN Rovers' Academy starlets can take another massive step towards the FA Youth Cup final when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Ewood Park tonight (kick off 7pm).

Gary Bowyer's side have made impressive progress in the competition so far having beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Derby County to reach the fifth round.

Now they face Brighton, the surprise conquerors of Chelsea in the previous round.

Bowyer said: "It's going to be another tough game. Brighton are top of the league in their section and they beat Chelsea, who have spent a lot of money at youth level, in the previous round so we don't see ourselves as favourites.

"We know from past experience that anything can happen in youth football on the night."

Season ticket holders can watch tonight's tie for free, otherwise admission is £3 for adults and £1 for concessions.
