Mark Lawrenson reveals bold Brighton scoreline prediction - plus Man Utd, Arsenal & Wolves tips
Writing his weekly predictions column for BBC Sport, pundit Mark Lawrenson backed a 2-1 victory for the Seagulls.
Justifying his prediction, the ex-Liverpool man claimed: "Brighton have not been playing badly but have not won for quite a while now.

He continued: "I am going for a Brighton win here, but I am not confident about that because I know what Burnley are like and how quickly they can turn things around.
"They have been on poor runs under Sean Dyche before and sometimes they just go 'bang' and suddenly look like a different and much-improved team - because of their manager as much as anything else."
Meanwhile, Lawro's opponent for the week, singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald, opted for a goalless draw.

Victory for the Seagulls could see the rise as high as 14th, while a win for the Clarets could see them creep out of the relegation zone.
