After receiving a red card against Chelsea last month, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is serving a one-game touchline ban and will not be in the dugout this afternoon at Turf Moor.
He makes two changes to the team that played Everton in the last match. Charlie Taylor is dropped to the bench, and Dara O’Shea is suspended following his red card at Goodison Park last week.
Vitinho and Hjalmar Ekdal take their places in the starting lineup. James Trafford, the goalie, is one of the replacements after his illness has healed.
Muric, Assignon, Esteve, Foster, Cullen, Berge, Bruun Larsen, Odobert, Fofana, Ekdal, Vitinho are the players in Burnley’s starting lineup.
Subs: Rodriguez, Manuel, Brownhill, Amdouni, Tresor, Massengo, Trafford, Taylor, Gudmondson, and Brownhill.
Nine members of Brighton’s first team are out due to injuries, which is a problem for manager Roberto de Zerbi.
Among them are Tariq Lamptey and Julio Enciso, who both miss out after starting in Arsenal’s previous defeat.
Joao Pedro and Joel Veltman arrive, forcing the Seagulls to rely on their academy, where young players Cameron Peupion, Mark O’Mahony, and Odeluga Offiah are all kept off the field.
Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan, Baleba, Gross, Adingra, Moder, Welbeck, Pedro, and Veltman make up Brighton’s starting lineup.
Subs: Barco, Fati, Buonanotte, Offiah, Peupion, O’Mahony, Steele, Julio, Lallana, and Barco.
