    That's all from the The Amex.

    Our coverage of today's Premier League action continues here.

    Thanks for joining me.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    And that is that.

    Not as bad a game as the score would have you think, but how we haven't seen at least one goal today...I'm not quite sure.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+2 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Shane Duffy is booked for deliberate handball.

    It's his fifth yellow of the season and he's banned for the game against Watford next Saturday.

    Silly.

    This one has died a death.

    Four minutes for someone to make me eat my words.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Izquierdo throws himself down in box, but the referee isn't interested. Should he have been booked for a dive?

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 83 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    And now another change for Brighton, with Anthony Knockaert off, and Jose Izquierdo on.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    That's the end of Chris Wood's contribution, as he is replaced by Sam Vokes.

    Less than 10 minutes for a winner, now.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 77 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Another booking in this match, as Dale Stephens is punished for a foul on Charlie Taylor.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 74 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    That was the chance that Burnley had been waiting for - and it has gone begging.

    Barnes sends Wood clear with a great pass, but he hesitates before Ryan races from goal to block the striker's attempted chip.

    Ashley Barnes' first contribution to this match is to get himself booked - and it's needless, if comical, as he bundles Mat Ryan into his own net after the keeper grabbed a misdirected header.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 69 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    And here is the change for Burnley, with Defour replaced by Barnes.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 68 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Solly March is booked for a foul on Phil Bardsley.

    That was good refereeing from Chris Kavanagh, who only brandished the card after playing advantage for Burnley.

    That change for the home side prompts some activity in the Burnley dugout, with Ashley Barnes sent to warm up.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Brighton make a change first, with Glenn Murray off in place of Tomer Hemed.

    I wonder what's going through Murray's mind as he takes his place on the bench. If you're just joining us, he missed a penalty for Albion in the first half.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 62 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    The game just seems to be lacking tempo, before a sensational double save from Mat Ryan.

    He twice denies Scott Arfield from close range, and when Chris Wood pops the ball into an open goal, he's flagged offside.

    What a chance for Arfield.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    A brilliant 70-yard run from Johann Berg Gudmundsson wins a corner that sees Dale Stephens clear Tarkowski's header off the line.

  17. CLOSE!published at 53 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Brighton go close once again, as Anthony Knockaert finds possession before charging towards the Burnley goal.

    The Frenchman's low angled effort goes through the legs of Ben Mee and beyond the outstretched palm of Pope and trickles just wide with Murray unable to connect either.

    Chance for Burnley, as Jeff Hendrick finds Chris Wood in a good area just outside the box...but his shot is tame and easily saved by Mat Ryan

    Burnley's Charlie Taylor is shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Anthony Knockaert.

    No changes for either side at the break, so here's a reminder of how the two sides line up...
