Speaking to Premier League Productions ahead of Crystal Palace's clash with Brighton, Scott Dann explained how the first-team approach a game with such history and significance to its two sets of fans.
He revealed that, while the squad understand and are impacted by the intensity of the rivalry, they prepare for the game in the same manner they would any other.
He said: "We prepare as we do any other game. Obviously there’s a lot more made of it from the outside with what it means to the fans. We get that but we prepare exactly as we do for any other game, the same as Newcastle last week.
