Brighton midfielder Beram Kayal wants to forget his injury woes and cement a place in the starting line-up

Brighton midfielder Beram Kayal admits he is desperate for opportunities to play his way back into Chris Hughton's thoughts following his injury nightmare.

Kayal missed the first four months of the campaign after breaking his leg in pre-season and has been restricted to just three appearances since returning to the Seagulls' squad in late November.

The Israel international is expected to be handed a start against Albion's bitter rivals Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup on Monday evening and he insists he is ready to seize his chance and give manager Hughton something to think about.
