    Olivier Boscagli in action for BrightonGetty Images

    Brighton defender Olivier Boscagli, speaking to BBC Radio Sussex about what the Seagulls need to do in the closing weeks of the season if they are to qualify for Europe:

    "Just keep going and doing what we've been doing in the past six or seven games. We have shown we are a strong team and it's difficult to win against us.

    "You see how important every point is, the table is really close. Everybody can lose now so it's quite exciting, but you have to keep focused and make sure you are working in the right way.

    "[The win at Burnley] was a great game but we still have to improve some things, because we know the European places will be really tight.

    "If we want to be part of it, we have to put every ingredient on the pitch and keep going like this."

    On the Seagulls coming up against former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi, now in charge of Tottenham, on Saturday:

    "It's a nice game for him because he knows the club really well and he has a really good image at this club. I can see he did a lot of good things here, but now he is at another club.

    "Of course he will be happy to see some faces and some of the players will be happy to see him, but at the first whistle there will be no friends on the pitch.

    "The only thing we want is to win the game and it doesn't matter with who or against who."

    Two Premier League heavyweights are set to face each other this weekend at Etihad Stadium, as Manchester City host Arsenal.

    Both teams go into the fixture with different targets. For Mikel Arteta's side, it is about extending their lead at the top of the table. For Pep Guardiola's side, it is about closing the gap and keeping themselves in the title race.

    It is a fixture being labelled a title decider by some, so we want to know who you want to win this Sunday's match.

    A total of 100 Premier League appearances for Jan Paul van Hecke at the Albion. It's a milestone that feels both remarkable and, somehow, inevitable.

    Since his introduction in 2022, van Hecke's rise has been a story of patience, development and quiet belief. There were early moments where his enthusiasm spilled over into rash decisions, but even then, there was a sense he had the raw attributes to reach the very top. What perhaps few anticipated was just how complete a defender he would become.

    Now he is fast establishing himself as one of the standout Dutch defenders in the Premier League. For many Albion fans, the turning point will always be that night against Manchester City, a 1-1 draw that sealed European qualification and a place in the club's history.

    Up against Erling Haaland, one of the most feared forwards in world football, van Hecke delivered a performance of composure and authority. He didn't just compete, he controlled. It was the night he truly announced himself.

    What has followed is consistency, leadership and a deep connection with the badge. JP van Hecke plays with such visible pride and determination that resonates with supporters, matched by a professionalism that sets the standard.

    And yet, with that growth comes an uneasy thought. Players of this quality rarely go unnoticed. If the time comes when he moves on, there is little doubt he would thrive at any club in world football.

    For now, though, Albion fans can celebrate a player who has not only reached 100 appearances, but has come to embody everything they value.
