Brighton manager Chris Hughton isn't getting carried away with their impressive season start.

Despite Hughton's optimism at their encouraging form and a wider appreciation of his team's development, he is adamant that survival remains Brighton's priority.

The 59-year-old manager said: "As quick as we can have a good period of games, it can go the other way, so still it's about that 40-point mark.

"It has to be.

"Even though it was 38 last season, and possibly in people's minds that 40 target will start to dwindle down, I won't change - this is our second season (in the Premier League)."
