England – Premier League | Brighton VS Burnley; Saturday, 09 December at 22:00 GMT +8

Brighton, a Premier League team aiming to avoid relegation, has secured European football for the first time in their history. Despite suffering only four defeats this season, their high expectations have been heightened due to numerous draws, leaving them outside the top seven.

Burnley aimed to build on their 5-0 win over Sheffield United, but their performance was hindered by the injury of Luca Koleosho after just 36 minutes. The Clarets have now suffered defeat in each of their last five away games, but they can take comfort from their 3-0 win at Falmer Stadium.

Brighton will be without at least seven players this weekend due to injuries, including Julio Enciso, Solly March, Danny Welbeck, Pervis Estupiñán, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, and Tariq Lamptey. Evan Ferguson, who has scored five goals this season, is expected to return to the starting eleven after only appearing as a substitute against Brentford.

Luca Koleosho will be available for Burnley this weekend after suffering a leg injury in a Wolves defeat. Nathan Redmond and Lyle Foster are absent due to injury and depression respectively. Jay Rodriguez and Zeki Amdouni are expected to return in the final third, while Nathan Redmond and Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson are pushing for midfield starts.
