Bardsley smashes a lofted ball into the area out of play, and that looks like being it.
90' +3
S. Duffy gets yellow.
Duffy inexplicably slaps the ball out of the air, having failed to meet it with his head, and picks up the most needless yellow card of the afternoon!
90' +1
March is the latest player to try his luck from distance with an effort that rises steadily over the top of the crossbar.
89'
Propper has a go from distance but it's a really scruffy connection and it dribbles wide of the target. That's not going to cause any goalkeeper any problems.
88'
Brighton look like they have an opportunity to counter, and Brown slips Bong in down the left, but his cross is really poor and goes straight out of play.
87'
L. Dunk gets yellow.
Neither side look quite inspired enough at the moment to nick a winning goal, but both managers have made positive changes and are clearly looking for the win. Is there one final clear-cut chance to give one side all three points?
Dunk caps a busy afternoon with a yellow card.
84'
NO PENALTY! Just after coming on, Izquierdo goes over the legs of Mee right on the edge of the box and appeals for a penalty! The referee gives no penalty and no dive, however, and neither side is happy with the decision.
83'
J. Izquierdo enters the game and replaces A. Knockaert.
Knockaert makes way for Izquierdo as Hughton makes his third and final change in an attempt to win the game.
81'
S. Vokes enters the game and replaces C. Wood.
Wood is taken off against his former club, to be replaced by Vokes. Wood will feel as though he should have scored tonight.
78'
March fouls Bardsley, and Burnley look hopefully to the referee to produce a second yellow card for the winger, but it's just a free-kick.
Minute
Description
77'
D. Stephens gets yellow.
Stephens takes Taylor out on the edge of the box, catching him with his studs on the top of his foot. An easy yellow card for the referee.
75'
I. Brown enters the game and replaces P. Groß.
Gross is replaced by Chelsea loanee Brown as Hughton looks to turn his side's dominance into three points.
74'
SAVE! Wood races clear, and the flag stays down! Ryan rushes out to meet him, but Wood's attempted chip has nowhere near enough height on it, and it comes off the goalkeeper's shoulder and goes out. Good work from the Australian to put the striker under pressure.
72'
A. Barnes gets yellow.
Barnes gets a yellow card for barging Ryan into the net as he made a routine catch. The striker was never getting anywhere near that ball, and it's a pointless foul to make really.
71'
Pope bravely flies out to catch a free-kick through a crowd. That's what you want your goalkeeper to do - be assertive.
68'
A. Barnes enters the game and replaces S. Defour.
S. March gets yellow.
Hendrick puts the ball out of play as Bardsley stays down following a clash with March. The Brighton winger gets a yellow card.
Defour comes off for Barnes as Dyche makes a positive substitution. The substitute will partner Wood up front, while Hendrick supports them from midfield. Can Burnley pull off a smash-and-grab here?
63'
T. Hemed enters the game and replaces G. Murray.
Murray is replaced by Hemed up front. The man departing has played well, but perhaps his most meaningful contribution to the game was his penalty miss. He'll be regretting that he couldn't put it right in the time he had on the field.
CHANCE! Gudmundsson is played in down the line by Bardsley, and the winger takes a good touch to round Ryan, but he can't quite get another touch on it to squeeze it back across goal from the byline and it runs out of play!
61'
NO GOAL! Burnley think they've taken the lead, but the flag is up for offside against Wood! Hendrick slips Arfield in, and Ryan parries the Canada international's shot straight back to him, before saving again! Wood then sticks the rebound away, but he's just offside!
58'
Neither side are able to keep possession for a spell, as the ball turns over in midfield with regualrity for a couple of minutes.
54'
The corner finds the head of Tarkowski, who manages to get it on target, but there's nowhere near enough power behind it and it's cleared away.
53'
CHANCE! Burnley finally get a chance of their own! Gudmundsson races the length of the pitch as he leads a counter-attack on his own. Bruno watches him well and blocks his fierce shot behind for a corner.
52'
CHANCE! Knockaert gets one-on-one with Mee in the box down the right. He takes the defender on and places it across goal with his right foot, only for Pope to palm it behind with Murray lurking! That seemed destined for a tap-in!
51'
Knockaert has been bright since the start of this second half, and produces another neat flick to back-heel past his marker. Lovely skill from the winger.
49'
Murray is felled outside the box, but this time it's Mee who tangles with him. Brighton win a free-kick but Pope is out to claim Knockaert's cross.
48'
C. Taylor gets yellow.
Taylor catches Knockaert with a reckless barge as the winger played a one-two. The former Leeds United man picks up a deserved yellow card.
46'
Burnley get the game back underway at the start of the second half, and they'll need to be a lot better over the next 45 minutes if they are going to get anything out of this game.
45' +1
Gudmundsson chases a long ball, but it goes out of play and that looks like it will be the end of the half.
45'
Murray and Tarkowksi clash once again, and this time the centre-half comes off worse as he lands awkwardly after jumping for a header with the former Bournemouth and Crystal Palace striker.
42'
Tarkowski is being treated for a cut on his arm on the sidelines, and looks in some discomfort as the bandages are applied. The injury seems to have been sustained from blocking Murray's earlier shot in the box, although the arm was tucked into his chest.
39'
Brighton are still pushing forward, as March over-hits his cross. Meanwhile, Murray goes down in the box again after a little barge by Tarkowski, but the referee doesn't spot it! The central defender needs to be careful not to give away another penalty! You'd think Brighton wouldn't be so kind as to miss two.
36'
MISSED! What an awful penalty by Murray! The man who won the spot-kick dusts himself down to take it. He tries to go straight down the middle with power, but ends up blasting it over the crossbar! Massive let-off for Burnley!
35'
PENALTY! Murray is heading away from goal, and Tarkowski needlessly bundles him over just inside the box! The referee takes a moment, and then points to the spot!
34'
CHANCE! Murray takes the ball down superbly in the box and fires one at goal, but it's deflected away. Burnley haven't had a sniff since the opening 10 minutes!
33'
Bong whips in a sensational cross, but it's a whisker away from Murray's head and it's dealt with.
30'
Interesting to note that two of Brighton's best chances - Knockaert's saved shot and Dunk's blocked header - were created by Gross, back in the line-up again today. He's become such an important player for the club already.
27'
Taylor gets down the left into a good position, but his cross is terrible, and is both too high and too long, and it goes out behind the goal. What a waste.
26'
Hendrick plays the ball back to Gudmundsson, who had drifted into a central area, but both of his long-range shots are a little tame and are blocked away.
23'
OFF THE LINE! Bardsley doesn't get a call and concedes a corner under no real pressure. The delivery finds Dunk, whose powerful header seems destined for goal, but Bardsley is there again to head it over the bar from virtually on the line! What a block! Brighton are certainly in the ascendancy now though.
21'
SAVE! Knockaert is found inside the box after a cut-back from the right, and his first-time effort at goal is hit firmly with the side of his foot, but Pope dives across to make a magnificent save and keep it out! Several follow-ups are then blocked as the Clarets regain their shape. That was good play to find the little Frenchman, but what a save by Pope!
19'
Another cross finds Murray in the box, but he can't flick his header anywhere near the target and the flag is raised for offside anyway.
18'
Burnley look a little ruffled, and concede throw-ins several times when trying to play the ball forward under Brighton pressure.
14'
CHANCE! Brighton are looking threatening from crosses, as Bruno gallops down the right and puts another ball into the box, which Murray gets his head to, but Pope hangs on to it and Burnley survive again.
13'
CHANCE! Knockaert's delivery from the free-kick is inviting, and it's only headed away as far as Dunk, whose volley at goal is deflected away by a team-mate!
12'
March lofts a good cross in towards Murray, but it's just flicked away from his head and it doesn't fall for Knockaert at the back stick either. That's a bit better from the hosts, who win a free-kick on the right following a throw-in.
10'
Burnley are growing into the game as they have a spell of possession and push Brighton back into their own half. They've certainly looked more dangerous in the opening 10 minutes or so than Brighton have.
8'
SAVE! Ryan makes a fabulous one-handed save from Wood's close-range header, but the referee stops play for a foul by the New Zealand striker. Great reflexes from the goalkeeper though, he didn't know that it would't have counted.
5'
Burnley are pressing high and harrying Brighton in possession, but the hosts are just about dealing with it for now.
3'
CHANCE! Hendrick hooks the ball back towards Wood in the box, but it's just headed behind for a corner!
1'
And the hosts get us underway at the Amex Stadium!
Burnley substitutes: Lowton, Vokes, Barnes, Westwood, Wells, Lindegaard, Long
Four changes for Chris Hughton's Brighton following their unfortunate 2-0 loss against Tottenham last time out. Ezequiel Schelotto, Beram Kayal, Jose Izquierdo, and Tomer Hemed all drop out for Bruno, Pascal Gross, Solly March, and Glenn Murray, respectively. Gross and Murray in particular were odd omissions against Spurs, having ranked among the side's top performers so far this season.
This is the first top-flight meeting between Brighton and Burnley, with the previous 26 taking place in the second and third tiers of English football, and the two clubs come into the game having exceeded expectations so far this season.
Brighton are in need of a win, however, having failed to pick up three points in the Premier League since the beginning of November when they beat Swansea 1-0. They earned just two points from the six games that followed. Their strong start to the season means that they sit in 13th, but they must arrest their recent slide quickly.
He's managed it efficiently, too. Of any Premier League manager with at least 20 wins, Sean Dyche has won the highest percentage of those games by a one-goal margin (82% - 22 of 27).
Clarets boss Sean Dyche must take a great deal of credit for his side's rise - no British manager has won more points in the Premier League than Sean Dyche (71) since the start of last season.
In fact, 85 of the previous 86 teams to have won at least 31 points from their first 17 games of a Premier League season have ended that campaign in the top 10 (99%). Of those 86 teams, 81 have finished in the top six that season (94%).
Brighton certainly have work to do if they are to score past their opposition today, as only Manchester United and Manchester City (both 11) have conceded fewer goals than Burnley (12) in the Premier League this season - despite teams attempting a league-high 279 shots against the Clarets.
Dyche has made just 13 changes to his starting XI this season in 17 games; eight fewer than any other side - reminiscent, perhaps, of Claudio Ranieri's title-winning Leicester City side, who had a largely unchanged core for most of the season.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Brighton and Hove Albion and Burnley at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
The line-ups have been announced, and we'll start with the home side.
Burnley make two changes from their 1-0 victory over Stoke City in the last round of fixtures, as Charlie Taylor - making his first Premier League start - replaces the injured Stephen Ward at left-back, while fit-again Ben Mee comes back in for Kevin Long. Matt Lowton also returns to the squad, but is named among the substitutes.
Burnley, however, are in fine form, having won five and lost just two of their last seven games. 1-0 losses to Arsenal and Leicester City were the only blights on a run that saw them pick up 15 points from a possible 21 and rise to sixth in the table on 31 points, having briefly flirted with fourth spot.
And there goes the half-time whistle! Brighton will feel very disappointed to not be ahead at the break. They dominated the first half and created chance after chance, Pope saving acrobatically from Knockaert's first-time effort in the box and Bardsley clearing Dunk's header off the line. But the pick of the bunch was when Tarkowski needlessly bundled Murray over to give the hosts a penalty and a golden opportunity, only for Murray to blaze over the bar! He and Tarkowski had a very physical battle throughout the half, and the veteran striker seems to be coming out on top at the moment. However, it remains 0-0 at the break!
And there goes the final whistle! Brighton have to settle for a point after bossing the first half in which Murray won and then missed a penalty, while Dunk and Knockaert had good efforts cleared off the line and saved, respectively. Burnley weren't without chances, as they had the ball in the net only for Wood to have strayed marginally offside, before the striker had a dinked effort well-saved by Ryan. In the second half, however, the hosts just didn't produce enough and the game finishes 0-0!
