Brighton and Hove Albion enter Monday's game against rivals Crystal Palace in their "best place" since Graham Potter's appointment, according to the head coach.
Potter arrived at Brighton in 2019, but a tough spell at the start of 2020 limited their ambitions solely to survival in his first season.
Despite praise for their improved performances, the Seagulls have found this campaign tricky, too.
A six-match unbeaten run in the Premier League has Brighton looking up the table now, though, and Potter is feeling much more positive.
"I think the group at the moment is in the best place since I've been here," Potter said.
