MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- The 37 league games between Burnley and Brighton have produced 11 wins apiece and 15 draws.
- The reverse fixture in December ended in a 1-1 draw, with Simon Adingra equalising after Wilson Odobert had given the Clarets the lead.
- Brighton have won two of their 11 Premier League matches against Burnley, though that includes two victories in their last three visits to Turf Moor.
- Burnley's tally of seven red cards for players this season is the most by a single side in a Premier League season since Aston Villa and Newcastle both accumulated seven dismissals in 2014-15.
- The Clarets have scored nine top-flight goals from outside the box this season - only Manchester City, with 12, have more.
- They have lost 21 of their 32 Premier League games this season, only losing more times in a top-flight season in 2009-10, 1975-76 and 1970-71.
- Vincent Kompany's side have lost a club-record 11 of their 16 top-flight home matches this season.
- Jacob Bruun Larsen can become the third player to score in three consecutive Premier League home games for Burnley, emulating Danny Ings in 2015 and Ashley Barnes in 2019.
- Despite winning five of their opening six league matches this season, Brighton have claimed only six victories in 25 subsequent games (D10, L9).
- They scored in each of their first 16 Premier League fixtures this season, but have failed to net in seven of their 15 league matches since.
- The Seagulls are at risk of losing consecutive top-flight games for the second time under Roberto de Zerbi.
- Having conceded 30 Premier League away goals in the current campaign, Brighton are two short of equalling a club record on the road in the competition.
- Joao Pedro has scored 19 goals in 34 appearances for the Seagulls this season, the most in a single campaign since Glenn Murray netted 23 in 2016-17.
- Danny Welbeck has failed to net in all 10 of his Premier League appearances versus Burnley.
