Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi says a return to Europe is a priority.

The Seagulls fell at the round 16 stage of the Europa League last week against Roma.

De Zerbi said: “I believe in my players and I know we can fight to reach another historical target.

“We are going to play ten games. Maybe only in two weeks we will play three games.

“We will play one game per week, we can prepare our best every game.

“I hope we can play with Joao Pedro and James Milner because (Solly) March, Jack Hinshelwood and (Kaoru) Mitoma can't play until the end of the season.

“I will try to reach another season in a row the European competition."
