Brighton boss De Zerbi: Great players Gilmour and Van Hecke making difference

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi expects a battle tonight at Luton.

De Zerbi was also keen to highlight the form of Billy Gilmour going into the game.

He said, Playing in Luton's stadium is one of the toughest games in the Premier League this season because they have a great intensity, especially at home. People think Brighton have to win, and it's normal if Brighton win, but in the Premier League and in football if you want to win you have to push until the end.

Arsenal and Manchester City won the game at the end [against Luton], I watched both games and they were very difficult games for both teams."

He added: We are playing very well, we are doing something maybe better than last season because of two great players in Billy Gilmour and JP van Hecke. Without these two players we couldn't play this way and we couldn't get these results.

"Billy is becoming good enough to be able to play at a higher level. JP and Facundo are starting to follow this way, the same way. We are so happy."
