Overview
- The Premier League match kicks off Saturday at 3pm at the Amex Stadium and is not being shown live in the UK.
- Brighton drew 2-2 at West Ham in midweek to extend a six-game winless spell that has left them 14th but still only a few points off European places.
- Burnley lost 3-1 to Newcastle, have collected two points from their past 10 league games, and sit six points adrift of safety at the season’s midpoint.
- Squad availability is affected by AFCON and injuries: Brighton are without Carlos Baleba and long-term absentees Adam Webster and Solly March, while Burnley lack Axel Tuanzebe, Hannibal Mejbri and Lyle Foster alongside other sidelined players.
- Burnley have never lost a Premier League match at the Amex (two wins, four draws), yet Ladbrokes price Brighton at 1-2 with tipsters leaning to a home win in a low-scoring game and some backing Danny Welbeck to score.
