A titanic struggle is likely here as the top two in the table meet. Burnley are looking good for a return to the Premier League with a four point lead over second placed Brighton and five points clear of third placed Middlesbrough who have a game in hand on the top two. Brighton had that long unbeaten run at the start of the season but then managed just one point from the next five league games. That early season form is back at the right time and they have gone six games unbeaten with five straight clean sheets before the 2-1 win at MK Dons. Home form is good with five wins and a draw in the last six and three straight clean sheets. They have a battle on their hands trying to make that four against Burnley. The league leaders haven't lost in the Championship since Boxing Day and are unbeaten in their last 15 league matches, a run that has taken them four points clear at the top of the table. The last seven away games have produced 17 points and 17 goals. Form against sides at the top isn't that fantastic though, they drew at home to Brighton earlier in the season and lost to both Middlesbrough and Hull City. I think a draw looks the most likely result here..
