Brighton vs Burnley prediction
Brighton have now gone six games without a win following their 2-2 draw with struggling West Ham last time out, and it's clear that Fabian Hurzeler's squad have struggled to deal with the congested festive schedule.
They next face a Burnley side who are scrapping away at the bottom of the Premier League table, with very little to show for their efforts.
Clarets boss Scott Parker is contending with a severely limited squad at the moment, either due to injuries or AFCON involvement, and you have to think this is an ideal fixture for Brighton to get back to winning ways.
The visitors just haven't offered enough in the final third, whereas the Seagulls should cause them plenty of problems at the back given their superior attacking talent.
Brighton vs Burnley tip: Brighton to win
