The Clarets return from a rare three-week break to take on the Seagulls at Turf Moor, a place where they haven’t won since October.
With only one win to their name from their last 22 league games, the last thing Burnley need is a shortage of players.
But while others are returning from injury, Scott Parker has been left short on numbers in central midfield.

While Josh Cullen is a long-term absentee with an ACL injury, Hannibal now joins him on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring against Fulham before the break.
During that game, Josh Laurent was also shown a straight red card and will now his serve a one-match ban against the Seagulls this weekend.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Clarets will line up:
