Brighton have woken up a little bit. Nick Pope's goalkick is headed forward by Adam Lallana and Neal Maupay races through, playing off Danny Welbeck.

His shot is straight at the keeper.

Burnley go up the other end and Ashley Barnes tees up Dwight McNeil but he slices it over.

Adam Lallana swings it in from the right... Adam Webster heads just over. Nick Pope had it covered though.

Pascal Gross is played in on the left. He chips it into the middle for Danny Welbeck but the ball bounces for Adam Lallana.

He hits it first-time and there's strong appeals for a handball off Ben Mee. A quick VAR check says no.

Not been a great half so far has it?

Charlie Taylor tries to get away down the left for Burnley but Tariq Lamptey comes sliding in to concede a corner.

It's then hoofed away at the near post by Yves Bissouma.

Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall on BBC Radio Sussex: "The only thing missing was an Albion goal. That was the best half from Brighton. If we had just cut out the silly mistakes, it'd been perfect.

"Going forward, Albion were really positive. Only an international keeper has kept them in it"

Both teams have been happy just to keep possession to go side-wards and backwards. We've had one entry into the box where the Brighton keeper caught the ball and we've been playing five minutes. There's been a lot of square passes.

Dwight McNeil curls in a corner from the right but Mat Ryan is able to punch it away. Burnley immediately go long again as they still have everybody in the box but it's dealt with comfortably by Brighton.

Tariq Lamptey feeds in Pascal Gross and he tries to drill it in first-time on the swivel. He doesn't catch it right and it's cleared by Ben Mee.

Burnley are taking control of possession in these early stages. Dan Burn reads a cross-field ball over to Matt Lowton and concedes a throw-in.

Back under way for the second half. Let's have some goals!

We'll have team news from this match in half an hour.

Brighton had 12 shots in the first half. It's the most they have ever had in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League game.

At the beginning Burnley kept the ball very well and got the ball into the two forwards but Brighton have just pushed them back and when you''re getting pushed back that deep it's very difficult if you don't get that first pass off. But Brighton are away from home and they know they'll have to defend. The two Burnley centre-halves have defended the crosses into the box really well, but they need to stop allowing the crosses into the box.

Thoughts on Danny Welbeck's performance so far? He's had a few chances - that one right at the end of the half and another where he forced a save from Nick Pope.

He teed up Tariq Lamptey for a good chance in the opening minute too.

Very tight.

Ben White plays it long to Danny Welbeck, who has got in behind of Burnley's defence. He controls it well but Nick Pope is smart off his line and gets there to block Welbeck before he can go round him.

Burnley have got to stop crosses coming into the box. People talk about playing with the ball but you've got to defend well. They need to stop Tariq Lamptey crossing balls into the box, once it's in the box they defend it well but there's too many balls going into the box.

Dan Burn's low cross picks out Pascal Gross in the box. He has time to control it and turn but his shot is blocked.
