Roy Hodgson says a Monday night clash with Brighton and Hove Albion offers the perfect opportunity for his side to put recent performances behind them.
“The fact that it’s Brighton adds that extra spice," he said at his pre-match press conference, "because it’s a match very important to the fans – and everyone at the club is aware of that.
“I think whatever team we’d have played after the last two results, where we’ve been below par, we’d have been anxious to show that we were better than that.
“It’s important to get out there and show the fans that the last two performances are not what they can expect from us.
