Woking boss Graham Baker will be looking to the club's history in the FA Cup for inspiration when they face Brighton on Saturday.

Next January will mark 20 years since the Cards beat West Bromwich Albion 4-2 at The Hawthorns in the third round.

Baker told BBC Surrey: "Woking have had their glory years in the FA Cup. They've gone to those big games and created upsets.

"As the manager of Woking now, I'd like to continue that trend."

He added: "I'd love to go to Brighton and cause an upset. That's the magic and the beauty of the competition. That's what we love about it."

Baker hopes Brighton boss Gus Poyet underestimates his side when the two teams meet at Withdean Stadium.

"I hope Brighton take the team a little bit lightly and put a 'B' side out so we can be a bit more competitive," he said.

"It's important that we stay in the game in the early stages and are not dead and buried in the first 30 minutes.

"We'll give it our all and run ourselves into the ground."
