Burn, who was excellent last week as Albion gained a hard-fought point at Norwich, was a key man last season as Brighton recorded memorable wins against Man City and Liverpool.

Graham Potter’s men triumphed 1-0 at Anfield thanks to a second half strike from Steven Alzate and then beat City in the penultimate match of last campaign with Burn netting the winner against Pep Guardiola’s men.

Burn said: “We will prepare and we are high on confidence. That win against them last season was huge for us.

“We have been quite consistent in our performances against them over the last couple of seasons but haven’t picked up the results. To put in the performance we did and pick up the win is a massive confidence-booster and it will take us into the game.”

Adam Webster, who also scored in that 3-2 win against City last season, is expected to be available having recovered from a hamstring injury. Potter will also assess the fitness of Enock

Mwepu (groin) and Yves Bissouma (knee). Both were unused substitute at Carrow Road.

Solly March also produced an impressive cameo from the bench against Norwich and will hope to force his way into the starting XI to face the champions.
