We must beware of beleaguered Brighton, Nuno tells Wolves

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has warned his side to be wary of wounded Brighton at Molineux.

They host the Seagulls in the Premier League on Saturday with Chris Hughton’s side just two points above the relegation zone.

“We are going to face a difficult team, they have their own ideas,” he said.

“All the games are the most important because it’s the next one we play. It’s the one everyone is focused on. It’s a tough challenge for both teams.

“The first game against them (a 1-0 defeat in October) was a tough match, but it was a long time ago.

“I have sympathy for all managers because we share the same job, I have sympathy for all the managers around the world – not just in the midlands – because it’s a tough job.”

“It was good, we had a good week of training sessions and, at the same time, some social time together,” he said.

“It was nothing to do with tiredness, it was a decision we made a long time ago. It was all planned and it’s for the benefit of the squad.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
