Brighton transfer news: Albion star ‘happy’ at club amid exit talk, Crystal Palace ‘step up’ pursuit of midfielder

Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana said he will be hoping to do his former club, Liverpool, a favour by beating Manchester City on Wednesday.

After having a huge say in the top four race — with back-to-back wins against Arsenal and Tottenham — the Seagulls are now set to travel to the Etihad, where they could dent Manchester City‘s title hopes.

Lallana, a second-half substitute against Spurs, said: “It’s remarkable to go back-to-back in North London. I’m not sure I’ve been a part of that in my career.

“There’s a feel good factor in coming to London. The suns out and it’s a nice spring afternoon.

Tottenham are a top team. We will take a lot of confidence from today.”

Lallana said the final stretch of the season is ‘going to be interesting’.

He added: “We’ve done them [Arsenal and Tottenham] both a favour.

“We can’t be biased.

“It’s wide open. It’s a great year in the Premier League.

“There’s tough teams week in week out. We are one of them [and have caused] upsets this year against big teams.

“Hopefully we can get one more on Wednesday night against City for my old team.”
