​Brighton boss Hughton expects tough West Brom challenge

Brighton boss Chris Hughton is expecting a tough challenge from Tony Pulis' West Brom when they make a trip to Amex Stadium on Saturday.

The Baggies are undefeated in the league this season and have seven points from their opening three fixtures. Meanwhile, the Seagulls have managed a solitary point from their three games.

Hughton said: "They are a very established Premier League team now with a very established Premier League manager so they are all tough, but we are at home, and I don't think it will be rocket science that on how ever we do this season, you're generally going to pick up more points at home than away from home.

"That's on the law of averages and, if anything, makes the home games even bigger.

"They are a very good side and I think they have recruited very well again and added on top of what I think was a very good Premier League squad as a team.

"But we know what the team is about. They are a very tough team to break down. They have really good quality."
