BRIGHTON BRIGHTON V  BOURNEMOUTH TOMORROW: 2pm, REFEREE: John Brooks

BRIGHTON boss Roberto De Zerbi has told his players not to let the weight of expectation push them under. 

Albion lost 3-2 at home to Greek champions AEK Athens on Thursday night despite being big favourites to win the game.

They have even been named second favourites behind Liverpool to lift the Europa League trophy.

But they have very little chance to get over their disappointment before facing Bournemouth in the Premier League tomorrow as they aim to move into the top four.
