​Knockaert fighting for Brighton place

Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert is fighting to get into the first team.

He came off the bench and impressed in the 1-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Premier League.

And he is desperate to get a start, as he is not in the team since manager Chris Hughton changed to a 4-3-3 formation.

Knockaert said to reporters: "I will keep working hard and the manager has a decision to make.

"He does his job and it is up to me to just keep working hard and get back in the side.

"I try to give my best when I am able to play, to give my best to the team, and that's what I did.

"We were unlucky that we could not get back into the game but I think we could be proud of ourselves.

"We could have been a bit more lucky but it wasn't to be. It is up to us now to keep the same level as we produced and that will give us the best chance at Manchester United."
