Percy Tau has been named in the starting XI of Brighton Hove Albion's FA Cup clash with Leicester City and you can watch the game on your television, even without DStv.
Brighton coach Graham Potter recalled Tau into the line-up after he was an unused substitute over the three Premier League games.
However, the Seagulls' boss has rung the changes and Tau will start his third match since returning from his loan to Brighton in January.
