Burnley team news

Burnley are back for their sixth-straight season in the Premier League, but Sean Dyche can’t rest on that run in the top flight. They were dangerously close to dropping and he’s got to make sure they’re not in that position again.

They did little in the transfer market, once again relying on striker Chris Wood to find the back of the net.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope is expected to be healthy, while right back Matthew Lowton tested positive for COVID-19 but could return in time to feature

Brighton & Hove Albion team news

Brighton had a ton of outs this summer, including centerback Ben White, and only a couple of ins. However, the arrival of Enock Mwepu from Red Bull Salzburg should give fans someone to watch closely in the opening match. Holding onto Yves Bissouma for another season could be just as big.

Danny Welbeck, Dan Burn and Tariq Lamptey will miss out with injuries. Alexis McAllister is coming back from international duty.
