Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion
While Burnley are battling relegation, Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton are still in contention for a spot in European competition next season after their maiden European campaign this season. The Seagulls are currently 10th in the league and a win could see them overtake Chelsea, even if only for the time being. Wins have been rare for Brighton of late though, with only one in their last six games. Goalscoring has been a concern for De Zerbi’s side and their list of injuries has also been getting bigger with Julio Enciso and Tariq Lamptey the latest to be ruled out. A win against Burnley will be crucial for the rest of their season, with Brighton yet to face Man City, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Man United in the league.
Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Six points from safety and with as many games to go in the season, time is running out for Burnley to stay alive in the Premier League next season. Last week's loss at Everton ended the Clarets' four-game unbeaten run before that, but that run included just the solitary win. Victories are the need of the hour in this final stretch of the season for Burnley, with games against Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham still remaining. Manager Vincent Kompany is serving a touchline ban for this game after his red card against Chelsea, while defender Dara O’Shea is also serving a suspension. Goalkeeper James Trafford is available for selection after recovering from illness.
