REVEALED: Where the real Premier League trophy will be in Sunday’s finale
We have a wonderful opportunity in tomorrows game to have a big bearing on who will win the league, and thats great for the club, said the Brighton boss, speaking on Saturdays Weekend Sports Breakfast.Generally most people dont expect us to win. Realistically most people wouldnt expect us to get close to a team that, with Liverpool, have been absolutely outstanding this season.And, as we found last week against Leicester, they always seem to find a way to win.Brighton’s confidence is high after their draw against Arsenal last weekend2
Brighton’s confidence is high after their draw against Arsenal last weekend
When youre playing against the top six, particularly against Liverpool and Man City this season, there is always a bit of nervousness because we know on a bad a day what they can do.But weve been closer against the top six this season, no one has really run away with scorelines against us. “This is probably the game where weve recovered the most and were in decent form going into it, on the back of a really good away performance at Arsenal, which gives us more of a chance mentally.So the pressure is off us.I dont think there would be any of my players who wouldnt be really looking forward to the challenge of this game.
