The Seagulls were seemingly well set for a comfortable mid-table finish at the turn of the year, but since than a run of seven league games without a win has left them just two points clear of the bottom three.

They are all massive games and we've got to step up to it now.

This weekend Albion play host to rock-bottom Huddersfield Town and Murray is only too aware that thing need to change in the very near future.

He told The Argus: "They are all big games from now, it doesn't matter if they are down there with us or not. They are all massive games and we've got to step up to it now.

"It's still in our hands. It's not like we are going into the last three games and we've got Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal.

"We've got winnable games and it's down to us to hard work on the training pitch, stick together and turn this around, especially with our home games."

Veteran frontman Murray himself has only scored in one of his last 12 Premier League games, netting a double in the 4-3 defeat at Fulham just over a month ago.

He can be backed at 13/10 to score at any time against the Terriers on Saturday, with Brighton 17/20 to win the game and 9/2 to do so by a 1-0 scoreline.

When the two sides met in West Yorkshire at the start of December, the Seagulls claimed a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Shane Duffy and Florin Andone.
