Welbeck skippers Brighton and Hove Albion at Burnley

Danny Welbeck is down to lead Brighton and Hove Albion from the front at Burnley this afternoon (Saturday 11 April).

Welbeck has been named as captain in the absence of Lewis Dunk who has been suspended for the 3pm kick-off at Turf Moor.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler is also serving a touchline ban but is confident in the breadth and depth of his squad.

Yasin Ayari returns to the team while James Milner is sidelined, having been part of the side that beat Liverpool at the Amex, with Welbeck bagging a brace, before the international break.

The other new face today is Oscar Boscagli who has been named alongside Jan Paul van Hecke in the heart of the Albion defence.

They are expected to be flanked by Mats Wieffer and Ferdi Kadioglu, with Bart Verbruggen between the sticks.

They will have Pascal Gross and Ayari, with Yankuba Minteh, Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gomez supporting Welbeck up front.

Although Hürzeler has tinkered with his starting XI throughout the season, sometimes without any choice, a familiar core are down to take the field today.

Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma, Carlos Baleba and Georginio Rutter are among the nine substitutes, along with Maxim De Cuyper, Charalampos Kostoulas, Joel Veltman, Igor Julio and reserve keeper Jason Steele.

Zian Flemming is down to start up front for the hosts as Burnley boss Scott Parker looks to navigate an escape route from the drop.

Burnley have won just one of their past 22 Premier League matches and are perched in 19th place in the table and 12 points adrift of safety, with seven games to play.

Albion start in 11th place after Bournemouth beat Arsenal at the Emirates in the lunchtime match today.
