Elphick has been an ever-present for Brighton this season

Brighton centre-back Tommy Elphick says they have their best chance yet to move away from danger in League One.

Just six points separate Albion in 21st place from mid-table, with seven teams within four points of each other.

Elphick told BBC Sussex: "If we put two or three wins together, we can definitely climb the table.

"I don't think there's going to be another period in the season where the league will be this tight so It's a massive time for us now."

On Saturday Brighton travel to fifth-placed Swindon, a side they battled relegation with last season.

"It's definitely not a game we can take lightly," said Elphick.

"We've put in a couple of good performances against Exeter and Colchester, obviously apart from the first 15 minutes against Colchester.

"We are going in with high spirits and are looking to climb the table now."
