Burnley’s dream of playing in the Europa League is still alive despite the fact they have fallen short in consecutive Premier League games. Sean Dyche’s side have suffered just one defeat from their past eight games, and will prove to be a difficult task for a Brighton side who have struggled away from home this season. Chris Hughton’s men are winless since their back-to-back successes against Swansea and Arsenal in early March. Joel Aberg
