Who Doesn't Like Mondays?

Chris Hughton: "It's not ideal playing on a Monday and we would prefer to play at three o'clock on Saturday.

"But it's the same for both teams and by the time kick-off comes around I'm sure we'll both be raring to go.

"Our last Monday night game was at Sheffield United and that was an incredibly tough encounter and I expect this to be exactly the same.

"They're a side which has done very well over the last few seasons and are hardened to this division now.

"Alan Irvine has done a great job and he is someone I know very well and respect.

"They have both that physical threat and the ability to play football and, of course, they're very good at home.

"We know we'll have to be at our best and I'm looking for that same spirit from the Sheffield United game."
