Seagulls 'adapt' to Europe as Hurzeler braces for 'physical' Bees
 Head Coach Fabian Hurzeler of Brighton & Hove Albion looks on

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Brentford at Amex Stadium (kick-off 14:00 GMT).

The Seagulls boss said his team will "adapt" to the demands of juggling the Conference League alongside domestic football as they return to domestic action after beating Getafe 1-0 on Thursday.

Hurzeler said: "I'm not sure if the body ever gets used to this kind of travel because it's definitely a lot of travel, but it's something that we can adapt to and can manage quite well. We have good staff.

"Our team manager, Emily Keighley, did a brilliant job of organising everything. It makes everything really smooth."

Hurzeler described Keith Andrews' Brentford side as "physical" and one with a "clear style of play".

He added: "We have to be ready for physicality - I think that's the most important thing. And then we play in front of our fans. That's also what we're looking forward to after five away games in a row."

Brighton have never lost against Brentford in the Premier League at the Amex (won three, drawn two). The Seagulls have only faced Newcastle more often at home without losing (nine).
