Premier League high flyers Brighton have nothing to fear in the Europa League.

Italian head coach Roberto De Zerbi is preparing his team for their first European game.

Coming off an impressive win in the league against Manchester United, De Zerbi sees no reason to fear Europa League sides.

Speaking to reporters, De Zerbi said of the European challenge ahead: “I think it is not tougher.

“But we have to get used to be playing three games per week.

“I have to be smart to change the players and they have to be ready to play one game and then one game no.

“Keeping the style, keeping the DNA. This is the problem. I can change the team, 11 players per game, but the target is keeping our style, keeping our DNA, winning the game.

“Try to finish the group on top of the table.

“Play the next year in Europe, not only this year."
