Burnley however are an experienced Premier League outfit and securing points against Sean Dyhce's men is rarely an easy task.

Brighton fans, and players alike, will be intrigued to see Potter's line-up for this one.

The Albion head coach made some bold changes at Spurs as goalkeeper Robert Sanchez made his Premier League debut ahead of regular No 1 Maty Ryan, while strikers Neal Maupay and Aaron Connolly were omitted from the matchday squad entirely.
