CRAIG MACKAIL-SMITH has labelled Albion’s derby as their biggest game of a thrilling week.

The Seagulls host Crystal Palace tomorrow hot on the heels of momentous games against Liverpool and Leeds at The Amex.

Albion returned to training yesterday and Mackail-Smith has been told how important the Palace game is for fans.

He said: “It has been quite hard with two big games but you want to be playing games thick and fast.

“We’ve got another one on Tuesday which is even bigger than the two games we have just played.

“But it’s fantastic. It’s what you want to do when you are a footballer.”
