Player to watch

Solly March: The 24-year-old, who came through the youth system at Brighton, has started in 14 out of 15 Premier League games so far this season, and has been a very effective outlet on the right-wing for Chris Hughton’s side. With five assists to his name, March will be looking to score his first goal of the season against a Burnley side struggling for form and leaking goals.
