Brighton goalkeeper Andy Petterson hopes to face former club Portsmouth on Saturday after making his debut during the 2-0 defeat against Walsall.

Petterson was drafted in by manager Martin Hinshelwood in place of the Michel Kuipers who is suffering with a groin injury.

He was at fault for Walsall's first goal but could do nothing about Leitao's screamer a minute later which proved enough to see off a goal-shy Albion.

But Petterson is keen to hang on to the number one jersey for the south coast derby at Fratton Park.

The Australian keeper said: "The First Division has been something of a rude awakening for some and maybe a little inexperience is playing a part.

"It's a much tougher league but we will get stronger and results will come.

"If I get the chance to play at Portsmouth that would be something I would relish. They have started well and it will be the first big club Brighton have played so far.

"I would like to think I could help some of the younger lads build in confidence."
