# Palace fans send messages to Cahill ahead of Brighton clash

Many Crystal Palace fans have urged defender Gary Cahill to put in a good display against rivals Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend.

The Eagles travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton, who [secured a draw](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50708661)at Selhurst Park in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Former Chelsea man Cahill [skippered the Palace team](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51512521) in their last Premier League match, leading the side to a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.

Cahill was [praised heavily by fans](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2020/02/24/palace-fans-believe-cahill-deserves-to-be-palace-captain/) for his display in that match, with many fans calling for him to become the club’s new permanent captain.

However, the centre-back is a relatively new player to the club after only [joining last August](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/gary-cahill-joins-crystal-palace/)so many fans [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/GaryJCahill/status/1232736043646013441) have taken the opportunity to tell him how important this weekend’s clash is.

The 34-year-old needs all the information because he [missed the earlier clash](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50708661) in December, meaning this will be his first taste of the rivalry.

The Englishman posted four pictures of him training onto Twitter and these fans couldn’t resist sending him some messages.
