Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Carabao Cup clash between Premier League Brighton and League One, Portsmouth. It’s a first competitive showdown since 2012 for two South Coast teams who are just 50 miles apart. Kick off 19.45 BST.

More from Potter on new signing, Joel Veltman. The ex-Ajax man makes his debut tonight: “I’m really happy with Joel and I can see his quality every day. He contributes to the team meetings and he is a good character and personality. He hadn’t been with us for long before he went away with the Dutch national team so we probably just need to be a little bit more patient, and make sure that when he plays the conditions are right to show what he is about.”

Graham Potter has completely shuffled his pack from the PL loss to Chelsea last time out. The Seagulls boss talked about giving fringe players a chance ahead of the tie: “We don’t see it as a distraction, we see it as an opportunity and a positive. We want to win the game and the team we put out will be a strong one.”

Pompey boss, Kenny Jackett on a potential cup upset and run in the competition: “That would be great. It will be great, away from home, we are looking forward to the game on its own because it is a real opportunity for us. Also as well, early season, see if we can build up momentum with results and some performances.”
