No ban on FA Cup semi-final talk but Brighton's focus is solely on the Premier League - Hughton
The Seagulls face Southampton at the Amex on Saturday and then travel to Chelsea on Wednesday before meeting Manchester City in the FA Cup at Wembley a week on Saturday.
Excitement is building among Albion fans about the semi-final clash and Hughton admitted that even he can't fully avoid the tie.

"There are some things, even myself, that we have to talk about regarding the semi-final because arrangements have to be made, things like tickets and so.
"But as regards the work we do and the meetings we do, there hasn't been any talk of the semi-final.
"We've had some seven players away on international duty so it was a mixed week anyway.
