3612

There are several fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on Saturday 9th of December, including the meeting between Brighton and Burnley.

The match will take place at the American Express Community Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 8th place on 25 points while the visitors are in 19th place on 7 points.

Brighton come into the match on the back of a 2-1 home victory over Brentford in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

It was Brentford who opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 27th minute but it took Brighton just 4 minutes to score the equaliser. Into the second half and The Seagulls scored the decisive goal in the 52nd minute.

The win over Brentford means Brighton are undefeated in 8 of their 9 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Ajax home and away plus AEK Athens away in the Europa League in addition to a 3-2 victory at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

However, trends show Brighton have recorded only 2 wins from their 9 most recent Premier League matches.

They have won only 1 of their last 4 league games on home soil but are undefeated in each of their last 6 home Premier League matches. Both teams have scored in each of Brighton’s last 11 home Premier League fixtures.

Burnley travel to the American Express Community Stadium having lost 1-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night in the Premier League. The only goal of the game was scored in the 52nd minute and Burnley could not find a way to break down the Wolves defence in the time that remained.

The defeat at Wolves means Burnley have lost 8 of their 9 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats at home against Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United plus away to Brentford, Bournemouth, and Arsenal in the Premier League.

Burnley lost 3-0 at Everton the League Cup but did record a comprehensive 5-0 home win over Sheffield United in the Premier League.

Away form in the Premier League shows Burnley have lost 5 of their last 6 games, including each of their 4 most recent league matches on the road. Burnley have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 14 away Premier League fixtures.

Team news and Brighton can welcome back Lewis Dunk and Mahmoud Dahoud from suspension. However, Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupiñán, and Danny Welbeck are all injured.

Burnley have doubts over the fitness of four players, with Josh Cullen, Jack Cork, Lyle Foster, and Benson Manuel hoping to recover in time for the game.

This match presents the perfect chance for Brighton to win two in succession at home.

Burnley are struggling with life in the Premier League and this should be a home win for The Seagulls, with a clean sheet a strong possibility for the hosts.
