Brighton Goalkeeper 'Not Worried' About Hostile Palace Atmosphere Ahead of Crucial M23 Derby

Mat Ryan is not fearful of a potentially intimidating Crystal Palace atmosphere this weekend - thanks to his experience of playing in front of Besiktas' bear pit-esque home crowd.

The Brighton goalkeeper is expected to keep goal for his side in their visit to Selhurst Park on Saturday as the Premier League clubs do battle in one of the more surprising rivalries in English football.

Ryan was quoted by the Mirror as he explained why Palace's 'ultra' contingent won't make him worry about keeping Roy Hodgson's side at bay, as the Seagulls eye a win that could secure their top flight status for another season.
