Chris Hughton: 'Brighton & Hove Albion won't relax until summer'

Hughton: 'Brighton won't relax until summer'

Manager Chris Hughton has maintained that Brighton & Hove Albion still have work to do in order to remain in the Premier League.

With four games still left to play, Brighton hold a seven-point cushion over 18th-placed Southampton while the same margin separates the Seagulls and Stoke City - who have played a game more - in 19th position.

However, despite Brighton sitting in 13th spot in the table, Hughton has said that his side will continue to fight for 'as many points as possible'.

The 59-year-old is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "It is certainly good to have the points in the bag, certainly I'd rather be in the position where we have got points rather than chasing them.

"We know we have work to do still, everyone is aware of the challenges that we have, the magnitude of the games that we have, but we will go into every game trying to get points and believing we can get points and until we are in a position that we are over the line we can't rest easy. Our mentality is to win as many points."

Brighton head into Saturday's meeting with Burnley having recorded just two points from their last five outings in the top flight.
