Arsenal defender Laurent Koscieny believes the bitter experience of losing to League Two minnows Bradford will assist the Gunners to avoid a second humiliating defeat at Brigton in Saturday's FA Cup 4th round tie.
.
The FA Cup looks Arsenal's most realistic chance of silverware this season but if they are to progress in the competition, they must overcome a potentially tricky test against Championship opposition in the last 32.
.
Gus Poyet's Brighton side are challenging for a place in the second tier play-offs and confirmed their threat in the previous round when they knocked out Premier League strugglers Newcastle.
.
That will signal a strong warning for Koscieny and his Arsenal teammates, who are still smarting from an embarrassing defeat on penalties to Bradford in the League Cup quaterfinals.
