The Seagulls are two points from securing at least a spot in next season’s Europa Conference League. They will put that beyond doubt if they can beat Southampton tomorrow. Two wins will make sure of a Europa League spot.
Albion have never come close to reaching Europe via the league although they were one win from playing in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1983.
Roberto De Zerbi: “We are pushing to achieve one historic target. We are doing more than we could imagine three, four, five months ago. It’s a very tough period but when you have one dream you have a big motivation, and you push together to work towards the target. To qualify in the Europa League with Brighton is more important than to win a Premier League with a big, big team. I told my players the same. Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Estupinan, the players who can have the possibility to play in the big teams. I think for us it is an historic target and we are living only for this.”
