When Burnley travels to Brighton this afternoon, they will be hoping to recover from their midweek loss to Wolves.
The goal for Vincent Kompany’s team is to snap their four-game losing trend away from home, which was exacerbated by a 1-0 loss at Molineux on Tuesday.
The Clarets are now two points outside of safety in the Premier League’s bottom three as a result of the outcome.
Brighton, on the other hand, defeated Brentford 2-1 on Wednesday and are now in ninth place, five points out of the Champions League spots.
The following is all the pertinent facts before to today’s match:
What time and location is the game being played? On Saturday, September 9, the game will take place at Brighton’s Amex Stadium. The game starts at three o’clock.
What recent news about the team?
The news that star player Luca Koleosho will miss the next few months due to injury has come as a huge shock to Burnley. It follows the winger’s knee injury sustained during Tuesday night’s opening half of Wolves’ loss. Positively, Josh Cullen, Jack Cork, and Lyle Foster are still out, but Jordan Beyer is back from suspension.
As for Brighton, they’ll be boosted by the return of key man Lewis Dunk after the defender served his three-match ban.
Mahmoud Dahoud is also back after serving a suspension of his own, while Adam Webster could also return from a knock.
Solly March (knee), Ansu Fati (thigh), Julio Enciso (knee), Tariq Lamptey (thigh), Pervis Estupinan (thigh) and Danny Welbeck remain sidelined, however.
Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments
“We always have the mindset we can do something. I felt like that when we played against Wolves, I felt like that when we played [Crystal] Palace, even Arsenal. The team has that belief.
“To get that over the line is what we’re talking about now. We have that one moment [against Wolves] where Jay Rod is one-on-one with the goalkeeper to put it in the back of the net, plus the decision making in the first phase when we have the ball.
“On so many occasions they do it well because we do create from a number of situations, but it’s that final bit we need to get right.”
What are the predicted teams?
Brighton: Steele, Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Gross, Baleba, Gilmour, Adingra, Pedro, Mitoma, Ferguson
Burnley: Trafford, Vitinho, Ekdal, Beyer, Taylor, Brownhill, Berge, Gudmundsson, Tresor, Amdouni, Rodriguez
