Albion head coach Graham Potter is not sure what to expect when fans return to the Amex tomorrow night to see them face the Premier League champions Manchester City (7pm).

8,000 Seagulls supporters will be in attendance as they face Pep Guardiola’s side in their penultimate game of the season.

However, Potter knows it is going to be a momentous ocassion.

He said: "It is (going to be a good day).

"It's going to be strange, emotional I don’t know how it is going to be.

"We have been away from the supporters for so long, you don't even get a feel for what they think really but we have just been trying to carry on winning games and we have missed that feedback you usually get with them in the ground

“Supporters have made it quite clear when they are not happy and when they are happy and that is the beauty of football.

"So we have missed that a lot and I don't think we could have asked for a better game to play to be honest.

“Man City, the champions, the best team and hopefully everyone can come down and enjoy live football, which is wonderful."

Potter was asked if he has had to remind his players about playing the game and not the occasion?

To which he replied: "Well I think they are human beings, that have missed the crowd for a long time and we hope there is that connection between the fans and the players because that is the best thing about football.

“You only have to see how the home advantage has disappeared without them a crowd pretty much which does not surprise me at all.

“We hope that when we get there we can play well enough to get the crowd into the game.

“I’m sure they will be supportive, but it helps them if we play well. So that is what we will try to do.

“The emotion of the crowd and the emotion of the game is something we have missed.

"So that is going to be interesting to see because both teams will have to adapt to the crowd again because we have been without them for so long and that is going to be interesting to factor that no one knows how it is going to go.
