Albion chairman Tony Bloom says there is lots to look forward to in the Premier League next season, including the return of the club's '˜intense rivalry' with Crystal Palace.

The Seagulls have not played Palace since the 2012/13 season, when the Eagles beat Brighton 2-0 in the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals at the Amex and then went on to win the final and get promoted into the Premier League.

Albion’s promotion means the arch rivals will lock horns again next year and Bloom said: “It’s going to be great for our fans and for their fans. I think a lot of them will be happy to be playing us in the Premier League next season.
