Brighton assistant head coach Chris Roberts accepts his side are underdogs against Arsenal on Sunday (14:30 GMT) but insists Albion hold no fear and is challenging his players to compete with the reigning European champions.
"I don't think the word fear is right, but in this league every single game brings pressure," said Roberts. "It's very unique here that from top to bottom anyone can take points off anybody else.
"Of course, the teams at the top are consistently winning more, but on any day, any team can take points off another - it's one of the biggest selling points of the WSL."
The Seagulls won this fixture 4-2 last season and Roberts wants his side to see Sunday's game at Broadfield Stadium as another opportunity to pull off an upset.
"When you play teams like Arsenal, you have to be at your absolute best," he said. "You need to ride the storm at times in the game and deal with big spells of pressure.
"Ultimately the pressure is on them, but the internal expectation here is that we perform and we play and we compete.
"We're certainly not turning up to park the bus and to pray for a draw."
Brighton have struggled for consistency since the turn of the year, winning two and losing three of their five games across all competitions, including throwing away a two-goal lead to lose against West Ham last time out.
"We've got an amazing bunch, a great mentality, great team spirit and a real togetherness in the group," he added.
"When another game is coming, you get over what's happened, and you start to focus on the next one."
