Mathew Ryan was on the bench for the Spurs game and will hope to return to the starting lineup in place of Robert Sanchez.

Solly March faces a late fitness test after landing awkwardly in the Spurs game and Alireza Jahanbakhsh is also in a race to be ready after returning to first-team training this week.

Prediction

Burnley have struggled to score goals this season. Whereas Brighton have notched 11 goals already, their downfall has been their defensive record.

The return of Ryan in goal and Maupay up front should see Brighton beat Burnley in what will no doubt be a tough game.

Prediction: Brighton 2-0 Burnley
