Brighton manager Chris Hughton is expecting an intense game against Burnley.

The two bottom half clubs will be evenly matched heading into the Premier League clash.

Four of their last five games have been draws.

Hughton spoke about the upcoming game in his news conference and said: "I'm expecting a tight game, because generally that's what it has been. Even the home games against Burnley. The levels of the two clubs and the two teams have been relatively similar over the last seasons.

"They, of course, had an outstanding season last season (seventh) and testament to them, certainly with the budgets and what they have as regards the squad and the amount of players in the squad.

"I expect a hard-fought game. The fact we are at home you hope to take advantage of that.

"Our home form has been good and we are on the back of a very good performance against Watford (0-0), but we expect a very tough game."
