Burnley vs Brighton LIVE - What time does it start, TV channel, team news, odds and prediction

A Burnley side struggling for form welcome Brighton to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

Sean Dyche’s team lost in midweek after surrendering a one-goal lead against Liverpool, and are without a win in eight league games; they come into the weekend in 19th place on nine points.

Brighton have had an excellent start to the season, and their 3-1 win against rivals Crystal Palace in midweek after going a man down will only add to the feel-good factor on the south coast; they’re in 10th, on 21 points. Follow the live action below.
