Brighton travel to Turf Moor this afternoon, aiming to strengthen their bid for European football.
The Seagulls have moved into tenth place after winning four of their last five matches. Manager Fabian Hurzeler oversaw a resilient 2-1 victory over Liverpool before the break. Brighton are looking to complete their first-ever Premier League double over the Clarets. They currently trail the European spots by just three points with seven games remaining.
Brighton team news
Fabian Hurzeler manages a squad missing its most influential defensive leader for this trip. Notably, captain Lewis Dunk is suspended today due to an accumulation of bookings. Consequently, Olivier Boscagli will partner Jan Paul van Hecke in the heart of the defence.
Furthermore, Yasin Ayari and Carlos Baleba are pushing for starts in a competitive midfield. Long-term injuries continue to rule out Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas.
Bart Verbruggen will start in goal behind a defence featuring Ferdi Kadioglu and Mats Wieffer. In attack, Danny Welbeck leads the line as he chases a personal scoring milestone. Notably, Welbeck has 12 goals this season and nears Glenn Murray’s club record of 13.
Diego Gómez also poses a threat after frequently winning possession in the final third. Brighton rely on their high-pressing system to exploit Burnley’s tendency for high turnovers today.
Brighton predicted lineup
Brighton Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu; Ayari, Gross; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck
