Burnley v Brighton: match preview

Burnley v Brighton
Burnley v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Brighton burst into life in the past week with fantastic 1-0 wins over Tottenham and Liverpool. Graham Potter will need to guard against any complacency against a Burnley side also very adept at upsetting the odds. Sean Dyche will expect his side to move on quickly from their usual limp defeat to Manchester City but, with the top half surely looking like a realistic prospect now, Brighton should be targeting a third successive win. Graham Searles
