Frank on 'fully firing' Brighton

Brentford boss Thomas Frank was in full praise of Brighton before Friday's Premier League game between the teams at Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls have not won since 23 November, but the Bees remain without a league victory on the road this season and Frank is expecting a competitive match.

"They have so many threats going forward so I expect a difficult game," Frank said.

"Every away game is a chance to turn the away form. We go there with belief that we can win. That said, Brighton are a strong team.

"Fabian Hurzeler has done a good job, They've got a very good squad, a more or less fully firing squad, available.

"[Kaoru] Mitoma is finding his form again. [Joao] Pedro we know is a top player.

"[Carlos] Baleba is an excellent midfielder. He will go to one of the bigger clubs in the future, for sure."
