71'
There's a delay in play now with Gudmundsson down on his haunches inside his own box, looking a little worse for wear.
69'
Wood puts the set-piece out with a header near his own right post and Burnley then defuse the corner with speed, pushing Brighton back to halfway.
67'
Now Bardsley is penalised however for a shove on Bissouma and Brighton have the free-kick out on the left wing.

61'
Wood cracks an effort off from outside the box and the referee rules that a Brighton defender got a touch to it as it sailed wide at the left post. Corner to Burnley.
55'
The set-piece is put straight into the wall and Brighton counter attack themselves sharply at speed to remove any additional threat from Burnley.
54'
Brighton come up with the ball, with no further action taken, though Gross concedes a free-kick a moment later on the 25 yards out from his own goal for a lean on Brady.
52'
Is that a penalty for Burnley? Bissouma tries a bicycle kick clearance inside his own box and takes out Bardsley in the process. Sean Dyche is furious.
50'
Bruno strikes a booming cross in from the right wing, though a deflection at close-range means it sails out for a corner instead. Balogun races onto it at the far-left post as it is swung in, and misses the goal, instead putting himself into the advertising hoardings.

HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 1-0 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
45'
There's one added minute of injury time on the way.
43'
Propper picks out a shot and sends it sailing over the crossbar on the back of a lovely break and pass from Bissouma. Albion looking for a response before both teams head in for a breather.
40'
J. Tarkowski has scored a goal for Burnley! Assist by J. Cork.
There was some confusion whether that was Cork's goal, but he will have to settle for an assist again. Brighton haven't threatened much in the last few minutes and have been made to pay for it.
TARKOWSKI GIVES BURNLEY THE LEAD! 1-0! It's a much-needed goal for the hosts! Gudmundsson's free-kick is pushed back out to the right wing and Westwood fires a follow-up in. Both sides exchange headers, unable to either clear or score, before it falls back to Cork who blasts it from 12 yards out towards the right post, where Tarkowski's midriff helps it on its way. Burnley are ahead just before the break.
39'
Gudmundsson wins a free-kick on the right wing in line with the Brighton box after Bernardo brings him down. A set-piece chance for the hosts now.
37'
Knockaert sweeps in to pick up a loose pass from Westwood 30 yards out from the Burnley goal and blasts an effort over the crossbar. Given the space and time the Albion man was afforded there, he should have done better.
32'
Gross tries to slip a pass down the right wing, only to be muscled out of chasing it, allowing Mee to sweep in and clean up.
29'
Wood is not looking the most alert up front so far and lets a long ball from Tarkowski skip away from him with the wind.
27'
Burnley come again with a more promising move, as Gudmundsson spears a low cross in for Wood to meet near the right post. The striker hits it at speed but can’t angle it inside towards goal and instead bundles it out for a goal-kick.
25'
Brady puts Gudmundsson away on a break down the right wing that brings the home crowd to their feet. An attempt to play a short one-two with Wood however unravels the whole attack and Brighton are able to intercept to a chorus of groans.
23'
Burnley play a relatively inert attack down the left that is sluggish and static, but Propper concedes good field possession for the visitors by miscuing a pass into touch for a throw-in.
21'
Knockaert now tries to strike from outside the box, but sees his shot blocked easily enough and the ball flies back into open play.
16'
Barnes is caught offside as he chases a pass from Brady that is whipped out to the left wing, trying to go the long way around the Brighton defence.
14'
Mee and Knockaert come together out on the right wing after the latter's break was cut up by the former with a good tackle. The Brighton winger is less than impressed as he tries to regather and gives away the foul.
13'
Gudmundsson concedes another free-kick for a foul, this time on March. The Clarets man best be careful with those efforts or he might find himself on the end of a booking.
11'
Now Wood nips into the box on the left, snatching up a Brady throughball and firing at Ryan. The keeper pushes it away, though he needn't have bothered as the linesman flags the Burnley forward for offside.
10'
Brady and Barnes almost piece their way through on the left with a few kindly deflected passes falling for them, but Bruno manages to force them back after a moment.
7'
Bissouma is rolled over by a sliding tackle from Gudmundsson and Brighton get a free-kick, though the visitors are unable to make any serious threats in attack from it.
5'
Tarkowski mis-fields a kick from Hart near halfway and is forced to evasively clear to the right wing before Andone can pinch his pocket.
3'
The hosts win a free-kick 45 yards out on the left flank now, which Brady whips into the box. Goalkeeper Ryan comes off his line to punch it away, unable to make a clean take, and Albion flail for a moment before March takes off with a counter-attack of his own.
2'
The wind is howling around the ground today and is already playing a part in this game; Burnley's early attacks are buoyed by mother nature, allowing them to press deep into the Brighton half early on.

The teams are out at Turf Moor and we're moments away from kick-off.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2018-19 Premier League as Burnley look to pick up a first win since September as they host Brighton and Hove Albion at Turf Moor.
Sean Dyche's side have failed to recapture the heroics of their prior campaign, slipping from Europa League contenders to the relegation zone in the space of a few months – and the beleaguered Clarets will be desperate to put their season back on track today against the Seagulls.
James Tarkowski's deflection off Jack Cork's shot is the difference at the break after Burnley found their midas touch late on to give themselves the lead. Brighton haven't threatened Joe Hart at the other end all too much but they held well until breaking five minutes from the break. It's still neatly in the balance though at Turf Moor; at half-time, it's Burnley 1-0 Brighton and Hove Albion.
Neither side is likely to make changes at the break, though both would be happy to see the weather abate a bit. It truly is foul in Lancashire right now.
There's going to be some relieved faces in Lancashire tonight. Both sides now have to prep themselves for arguably their toughest festive fixtures next weekend though now. Burnley travel to Tottenham while Brighton host Chelsea. Until then however, thank you for joining us – and have a good weekend!
