Brighton boss Chris Hughton says he is unsure how many points the Seagulls will need to remain in the Premier League.

When asked about avoiding relegation, Hughton said: "We've never really set ourselves a target. We are a new team in this division. We have our targets every single week which is to try and get as many points as we can in that next game.

"The obvious 40-point target is because of history and averages, it's not a bad one to cling on to. I must admit I have no idea what it will take this season."

"What I do know is that we have a huge amount of competition this end of the table" Hughton added. "Whoever is playing each other at this end of the table, it's obviously a bigger game.

"There's no targets. We just need to make sure that we get more points than three other teams."
