Brighton v Burnley: How can I watch it? Is there a live stream? Early team news - who is playing for both teams?

The Seagulls have shown plenty of signs of promise in the opening stages of the season, but as yet, have struggled to turn that flair into points.

Who will be in the teams?

Brighton boss Graham Potter raised a few eyebrows when he omitted striker Neal Maupay from his starting XI against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, but the Frenchman has trained this week and could be recalled.

Likewise, he will have a decision to make over goalkeeper Mat Ryan, who dropped to the bench for that game.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh has returned to training, while Solly March’s availability remains in some doubt.

Burnley have had a raft of injuries recently, and will likely be without skipper Ben Mee, Erik Pieters and Jack Cork – while Johann Berg Gudmundsson could be touch and go.

Phil Bardsley continues to follow Premier League protocols having tested positive for Covid before the draw with West Brom last month, but his period of isolation is due to come to an end this week, and he could feature if he returns a negative test before the game.

Who is the referee for Brighton vs Burnley?

The man in the middle at the Amex on Friday will be Mike Dean. The official has taken charge of five Premier League games so far this season, handing out 16 yellow cards and one red.

Dean will be assisted by Ian Hussin and Dan Robathan, while his fourth official will be John Brooks.

Michael Oliver and Steven Child will be on VAR duty for the match.
