Brighton have improved from last season and are showing more resilience, according to manager Chris Hughton.

Hughton's side are in fine form and go into the game looking for their fourth straight win in a row. 

The most recent of those victories came at home to Wolves last weekend and Hughton praised the fight in his squad.

"The most pleasing thing is that we're getting the three points, we know how valuable that is in this division", Hughton told 'Sky Sports'. 

"To get three wins on the spin is unusual, it's hard enough getting them back to back.

"The 1-0 scorelines show that we do have a resilience in the team and squad.

"We've been under pressure in the last couple of games and showed great spirit to make sure we don't concede."

Brighton will hope to repeat their impressive season os last, where they finished seven points clear of the relegation zone. 

"The wins are something we couldn't do last season, it's a sign we're making progress but we're conscious of how hard this division is," he added.

"And I know you can lose three on the spin as quick as you can win them."

"Every team wants their strikers to score goals, we're fortunate Murray is doing that and we have good competition up front.

"We have in Glenn somebody who is scoring important goals and for a club like ours that is very big to have a player like that to rely on.

"What we want to be doing though is spreading the goals around the team a bit more."
