Graham Potter insisted there were green shoots in Brighton’s performance despite a comprehensive defeat to Manchester City last time out and they will want to back up such confidence with victory against Burnley. Leandro Trossard picked up a groin injury on international duty with Belgium, while Danny Drinkwater will be absent for the visitors following a nightclub altercation. “They are human beings and people do get in scrapes,” Sean Dyche said. “We have talked to him and the rest will remain private.” Ben Fisher
