Albion face a huge match this Saturday at the Amex Stadium as they welcome seventh-placed Fulham, who are level with Brighton on 35 points but have also played two matches more.
Victory against Marc Silva's impressive team could boost Albion's chances further and despite missing out on the win last week at Selhurst Park, De Zerbi remains confident.
