Hodgson: "Every home game has to be regarded as an opportunity but Brighton are a really good team. They've carried on or even improved on last season. It'll be very difficult; we need to perform like we have in the past two games and even that might not be enough. It is a home game after the players have shown quality. Doing so again gives us a chance."
On the rivalry with Brighton: "It didn't exist when I was a fan as a boy. It has come about in recent years but we embrace it, understand it and take on the extra responsibility.
