"If I am involved it will be fantastic, strange to be rubbing shoulders with them rather than sitting in the stand watching them."
Whing played at Villa Park in school tournaments as a teenager before signing professional terms with Championship side Coventry City.
He has made 11 appearances for the Seagulls in all competitions this season, including the 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers in their FA Cup first round replay.
"It'll be a strange experience but all the lads are looking forward to it and it's a great for the supporters as well who'll travel up there," Whing added.
"It's a lovely stadium and they'll have a good day out as well."
