Did you know?

Burnley are unbeaten in their last five league trips to Brighton & Hove Albion. Four of those visits have ended level. Indeed, eight of the last 12 league meetings between these teams have been drawn, with each side winning two apiece.

Following their 2-1 victory on the opening weekend, Brighton are looking to complete their first league double over Burnley since the 2012/13 Championship campaign.

While he’s yet to score in his three Premier League outings so far, Wout Weghorst has had more shots than any other Burnley player (eight), while no player has created more chances for the Clarets than the Dutchman since his arrival (three).

Brighton have lost just one of their last eight Premier League matches against sides starting the day bottom of the table, with that defeat coming at already-relegated Sheffield United in April last season.
