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

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • Pascal Struijk will be assessed on Saturday before a decision is made on his availability for Sunday.

  • No other sidelined players will recover in time for the Palace match, but Mats Wieffer and Yankuba Minteh will be a "quite quick return". Hurzeler added they will "have to be a bit more patient" with Karou Mitoma.

  • On why he thinks so many players have been on the scoresheet this season: "Quality from the players. They all have a hunger to improve every day. I have ideas and principles, but it's the players that have to live it and believe it's their idea. The players do and that's something I really appreciate for them."

  • He added that his players "show desire to score" by "attacking the box with intention" and make runs for one another which shows "sacrifice".

  • On what he enjoys the most about the rivalry with Palace: "Nothing yet because I haven't won any so far. Hopefully, on Sunday this changes and then I can enjoy it."

  • He said he "knows how important this game is for the fans and club" so they "will try to go all-in and give the supporters the win".

  • More on the derby and continuing their run of form: "It's a big game for the club and for us. I know the meaning and we are all desperate to win it, but we are not going into this game only focusing on the result. We want to do things that make us strong [performance-wise] and that will always be our approach."

  • He praised the "very impressive" home support against Kauno Zalgiris and thanked everyone "who created the environment".
