Burnley’s fight for Premier League survival meets Brighton’s European push in a high-stakes clash at Turf Moor on 11 April 2026.
Burnley come into Round 32 in 19th place on 20 points, with a goal difference of -28 and just four wins from 31 games. Their recent league form is poor (Form: L-D-L-L-D), and they have conceded 61 goals overall, averaging 2.0 per match. At Turf Moor they have taken only 2 wins from 15, scoring 15 and conceding 23. Injuries deepen the challenge: Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, Josh Cullen, Josh Laurent and Connor Roberts are all ruled out, while M. Tresor Ndayishimiye and Axel Tuanzebe are doubtful.
Brighton arrive in far better shape, sitting 10th with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +4. Their tail-5 form reads W-W-L-W-W, reflecting momentum in the top half. Across 31 matches they have scored 41 and conceded 37, with 7 clean sheets. Top scorer Danny Welbeck has 12 league goals.
Head-to-Head
Head-to-head, Brighton won the reverse fixture 2-0 in January, while the last five league meetings show two Brighton wins, one Burnley win and two draws.
With Brighton stronger in form, league position and attacking output, they are clear favourites to take all three points at Turf Moor.
