Meeting Highlights…OUR IMPROVEMENT
We cannot discount the first nine,10 games and I do feel we have improved a lot since the first game. But we cannot recover those points we missed. At the moment I think we are 10th, we want to finish strong. We have four games left which are really difficult to finish the season and I hope we improved from the games we played against these teams in the first phase.
…MILOS KERKEZ SUSPENSION
It's a shame because last month he performed really, really well, probably the best month of the season for him. The Manchester United game, the other day against Wolves, he has been playing with confidence, he has improved since the beginning of the season.
…INJURIES
I think Neto understands. Everyone understands there is strong competition in his position and they have to be always ready to play. You have to train well and they are doing that - Mark Travers, Neto, Andrei Radu, and Darren Randolph. The ones that are playing less minutes are trying to push.
…SOLANKE’S FORM
For me as a manager he is worth a lot of money. The more expensive we put him, the better for the manager. I understand the club, I think we will try to keep him - that is what we want. We don't want anyone to come with the money but we know how the market works. But I will not be the one to put on the price. If I was to, it will be very easy for me to put it very, very expensive. He has scored a lot of goals, he played very well, so probably there will be offers for him - yes.

Roberto De Zerbi
Manager on Brighton…INJURY REPORT
Billy Gilmour will be available, but we have lost Jan Paul Van Hecke for this match. I don’t know how much time or how many games, but he can’t play, it’s a muscular hamstring injury. James Milner no, Tariq Lamptey no. We have eight injured players. Julio Enciso is not part of this injury list. He cannot play 90 minutes, but he can play a part of the game I hope.
…ABOUT THE MATCH
We need energy, because we will play with the same courage and mentality. We will try our best to prepare to strategy in the match. Energy, mentality and and courage is my first rules so we are not going back from out of it.
