Sean Dyche has been praised for his work at Burnley by Albion boss Chris Hughton.

Dyche has steered the Seagulls' hosts on Saturday to seventh in the Premier League, on course for Europa League qualification next season, with former Albion duo Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood leading the attack.

Hughton said: "I've heard Sean Dyche say and what I would agree with, is that they've developed as a team. There aren't many in this division that will play two up front and they haven't always, but at this moment and for the last few months they have done.

"They know their jobs very well, they've got footballers playing and in a very tough division their work on the ball has improved, they're getting the very best out of what they've got.

"He has a group of players that are tuned in 100 per cent to the way they play and getting the best out of the way they play. They thoroughly deserve their status at the minute."

Ben Mee and Scott Arfield remain casualties for Albion's visit.

Dyche has revealed that Arfield and Dean Marney will be released at the end of the season.
