MICKY Adams aims to toast another victory for in-form Albion with bottles of bubbly from the chairman of their opponents.
The Seagulls' boss is aching for revenge in tomorrow's sell-out showdown against Leyton Orient at Withdean.
Adams is fired up for the fourth versus fifth clash after Barry Hearn, Orient's colourful chairman, rubbed Albion's noses in their 1-0 defeat eight months ago.
"We certainly owe them one," he said. "My lasting memory of last season is them taking the points at Withdean and Barry Hearn putting two bottles of champagne in their dressing room.
"Let's hope he is bringing the champagne into our dressing room this time."
The arch-rivals are separated in the table only by the two extra goals Albion have scored.
Adams' side are brimming with confidence following a six-match unbeaten run and successive home victories.
"We've not had a problem at Withdean since Orient beat us last season," he said.
"We've only lost one League game there since then.
"The pleasing thing is that the fans are really getting behind us. I'm hoping the boys relax, play their football and get the three points, but we know it's not going to be easy."
Adams is expected to name the same starting line-up for the sixth match in a row.
Goalkeeper Mark Cartwright, who has not conceded for nearly five hours, resumed training yesterday after suffering a knock in last Saturday's win at York.
l Albion have brought forward the reserve game against Oxford from October 25 to next Monday at Woodside Road, Worthing (7pm).
