Burnley head coach Scott Parker has a lengthy injury list that includes long-term absentees Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, Josh Cullen, Connor Roberts and Mike Tresor.
Hannibal Mejbri is still out with a thigh problem, Josh Laurent is suspended after his red card against Fulham, while it remains to be seen if Axel Tuanzebe is fit enough after his World Cup play-off heroics for DR Congo.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler – himself suspended from the dugout – must do without his captain Lewis Dunk, who has picked up 10 league bookings.
Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster, both of whom have serious knee injuries, remain sidelined, but Jack Hinshelwood has shaken off a knee issue and is available.
Players out: Burnley – Amdouni, Beyer, Cullen, Hannibal, Laurent, Roberts, Tresor Brighton – Dunk, Tzimas, Webster
Doubts: Burnley – Tuanzebe
Key FPL notes:
In the last four home matches, only two midfielders have attempted more shots than Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony (£5.0m), with 14.
Zian Flemming (£5.3m) has scored three goals in his last four matches for Burnley, amassing 24 points.
Brighton Danny Welbeck (£6.2m) has scored four goals in his last four starts. After this weekend’s game, Fabian Hurzeler’s side play twice in gameweek 33, so it’s no surprise he is the most transferred-in player of the week.
