Burnley sign off for a mini-break with a trip to the south coast to face a Brighton side still fighting on two fronts.
Albion's midweek FA Cup fourth round replay win at WBA earned them a home tie against Derby County.
But first they must look to halt the recent resurgence of Sean Dyche's side who, following their FA Cup exit at Manchester City - which leaves them with a blank weekend next week - hope to extend their unbeaten league run this calendar year.
Indeed, after improving their position since the turn of the year, the Clarets have the incentive of knowing they can bridge the gap to the 13th place Seagulls and go level on points with an Amex victory.
