TEAM NEWS
Burnley manager Sean Dyche has said he is unlikely to blood any youngsters against Brighton despite a number of injury absentees.
Ashley Barnes, Ben Mee, Matt Lowton, Jack Cork and Charlie Taylor are all unavailable.
Brighton, who secured their Premier League safety with a 0-0 draw against Newcastle on Monday, have no fresh injury concerns.
Jose Izquierdo and Steven Alzate remain sidelined.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steven Wyeth: If Burnley break a recent habit of losing their final game of the season, they will set a new club Premier League points record.
A Nick Pope clean sheet contributing to that milestone would guarantee him at least a share of the Golden Glove. That award has only previously been won by goalkeepers at Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
The season's culmination is not without objectives for Brighton. Victory secures their best Premier League tally of 41 points, potentially good enough to match the 15th place finish of their first campaign back in the top flight two years ago.
