Albion captain Danny Cullip insists the Seagulls will not be overawed by tomorrow's gigantic clash against the team of six-footers steered to the brink of the Premiership by his mentor.

A sell-out 32,000 crowd will cram into the Walkers Stadium expecting to see Micky Adams' Leicester get the win they require to make certain of promotion.

Relegation-haunted Albion need a result more than the high-flying Foxes and Cullip is not interested in one-upmanship, only the points.

"Micky has had a very big influence on my career, probably the biggest," said the central defender.

"He took me from Oxford to Fulham and then from Fulham to Brentford and Brighton.

"It's not about putting one over him, it's just very important that we get a result. We are concentrating on the game, regardless of who their manager is or who he brought into this club.

"Every game is difficult. You ask Portsmouth, who lost to Sheffield Wednesday last week. Every one can beat anyone in this League on their day. Hopefully we will go up there and get a positive result.

"We are all looking forward to playing at their new stadium. It should be the biggest crowd of the season for us and probably the biggest we've ever played in front of, so there will be a great atmosphere.

"It's what we have all been striving for for the last three seasons, to get in the First Division where you are playing against the big boys at lovely grounds. We are desperate not to throw that away."

Leicester are the largest team in the League, but Albion boss Steve Coppell is just happy to have a fighting chance of staying up after the tall task he faced when he took over.

Sheffield Wednesday visit Withdean on Monday for a survival showdown and Coppell said: "If we had this situation put to us at the beginning of November, when we had four points from 14 games, then we would have jumped at the opportunity.

"That is very much what we have got to see this as, a real opportunity to try and safeguard our footballing futures. I know the players are very determined and very much looking forward to the prospect of the Easter weekend, then the final two games to come.

"Most people would suggest we should save the bus fare and not bother turning up tomorrow, but strange things happen as Sheffield Wednesday proved at Portsmouth last week."

Dean Blackwell is in contention for a return to the Albion starting line-up after injury and so is Paul Kitson against the club where he began his career.
