Sam Baldock says there is a 'buzz' at Brighton nowadays as the Seagulls prepare to face Arsenal in a fourth round FA Cup tie on Sunday.
Brighton have won four of their last five matches – in all competitions – including a 3-2 victory over Ipswich on Wednesday.
That triumph prevented the Tractor Boys from going top of the Championship table while a win over the Gunners this weekend would knock the holders out of the cup.
In fact, the Sussex club have lost just once in seven matches with the appointment of Chris Hughton towards the end of last month being a contributory factor in their recovery.
Brighton are now six points clear of the relegation zone and striker Baldock says there is a feel-good factor at the club nowadays.
He said: "There's a bit of buzz around now and we can firmly look forward to Arsenal as an occasion and as a test for ourselves.
“We've all got ambitions to play at the highest level and what better way to test ourselves.
"It could be a welcome break from the league. Obviously, when you go flat out with so many games in quick succession and you're not picking up the points, you feel you should be.
“Then it can drag on a little bit. It's going to be a good occasion and a good test for us.”
