    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Liverpool (kick-off 20:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Lewis Dunk and Igor Julio are set to return and Joao Pedro is also available again after serving his suspension.

    • Kaoru Mitoma "has a minor issue" but Hurzeler is hopeful he will still be in contention for Monday's game. Georginio Rutter "is also very close" to returning so may make the final game of the season.

    • James Milner "is doing rehab on the pitch, so he is getting closer" but Hurzeler is unsure whether he will be fit enough before the season ends.

    • On Pedro being nominated for Premier League young player of the season: "We always try to push young players and give them the platform and stage to improve, play and be allowed to make mistakes. It's not just an award for the individual player but for the whole club and the way Brighton is working."

    • He said Brajan Gruda, who scored against Wolves last weekend, "had a lot of positive actions" in that game and was given the opportunity based on his work ethic in training.

    • On Liverpool having some rest days and Arne Slot being spotted on holiday: "I am not focusing on them. They deserve it as they won the Premier League in an impressive way. It is not our responsibility to comment on that but to be ready and play a high intensity game against high individual quality."

    • As the race for European football goes down to the wire, he said: "We really want to compete with the best and chase them."

    • Reflecting on this season: "I am very grateful for working with this team because they are all great characters and have intrinsic motivation to improve. But I am also grateful to the staff as they built the environment and foundation for me to build on. It is crucial the togetherness and team spirit."

  24. 'I don't sense excitement for a European push'

    Brighton's win over Wolves left them firmly in the race for European football with two games to spare.

    Albion, along with Brentford and Bournemouth, and to a lesser extent Fulham, are all vying for eighth spot which might be enough.

    Argus journalist Brian Owen, who joined BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor on the Albion Unlimited podcast said there is less enthusiasm than in recent seasons when pushing to secure European football.

    "I don't sense a great deal of excitement about the possibility of making it to Europe," he said.

    "I don't know if it's because their form has been up and down. I don't know if it's because they've been there before and it was Europa League and this could be Conference League or because the team that can snatch it up is Crystal Palace [if they win the FA Cup final].

    "I don't know what is, but I don't sense excitement for a European push like there was two years ago, but we still think they're in for a chance."
