Albion are seven without a win – on two counts.

But head coach Graham Potter says that has not been playing on minds ahead of Burnley’s visit.

It is more than six months now since home fans had a win to celebrate if you exclude the friendly versus Valencia.

Florin Andone was the man who did the damage as Huddersfield were seen off 1-0 on a tense afternoon back in early March.

Since then the Seagulls, under two managerial teams, have played seven at home, drawing twice and losing five times.

They have scored three goals against 16 conceded.

Their fans have only known the pleasure of being ahead for 83 seconds against Manchester City plus however long it took for VAR to disallow Leandro Trossard’s first-half strike against West Ham.

Albion have one home point out of a possible six to their name since Potter took over.

They should have had more and probably deserved more.

Ironically, Andone – the man whose header brought that last home win – was largely to blame for their most recent setback when he was dismissed against Southampton.

So the Albion boss says there is no downbeat feel when it comes to playing on home turf.

Potter said: “A win would be great, that goes without saying.

“The wait since a home win isn’t something we’re really thinking about and, from my perspective, we’ve only had two games there in the league during my time so far.

“There’s a real positive feeling at the Amex and I’m really grateful to the supporters for how they’ve backed the team and how they’ve helped us.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t win the game against West Ham because, on another day, I thought we could have done.

“The Southampton game becomes tough after 30 minutes, but there was still a positive atmosphere – but a win would be nice, of course.”

Success tomorrow would make Potter the second Albion boss in recent years to secure his first home win against the Clarets.

Oscar Garcia, who also worked under the ‘head coach’ job title, saw his side get the 2013-14 season a little belatedly up and running at the Amex with a 2-0 success.

The Argus:

Since then, the clubs have met seven times, drawing five in a row before Burnley did the double last season.

That is the other seven-without-a-win sequence Albion must look to end tomorrow.

It should arguably have never got to this point.

They led from the first minute at Turf Moor in 2015-16 but were pegged back by a harsh penalty award.

Burnley levelled late on in a 2-2 draw at the Amex towards the end of that season.

A miss from the spot by Glenn Murray allowed Burnley to leave Falmer with a 0-0 draw two seasons ago.

And, last term, the hosts would have been ahead but for super saves by Tom Heaton before Burnley made off with a 3-1 win.

Potter said: “I’m expecting a tough game against a side who I really like.

“They are very good at what they do and have a good balance between defence and attack.

“They create chances and defend well, they can mix their game up and use their strengths in a good way to create chances.

“We need to be really focused and do our work as well as we can.

“It’s a game we’re looking forward to after this break and it’s good to be back in league action.

“It’s always better if you can keep a clean sheet, that goes without saying.

“But the beauty of the Premier League is that there are always different challenges.

“Whoever you face brings a different test with a different style, Burnley have had a good start, so we have to defend well and as a team whilst going forward strongly ourselves.”

Potter and Sean Dyche are flying the flag as English managers in the top tier.

The Albion boss said: “I’ve been hugely impressed what he’s done there.

“They have stayed in the league and pushed for further with a clarity about what they want to do. As a coach I have respect for that.

“People make a thing about style but it’s about what you do and Burnley do that very well.

“That balance between defence and attack is important and there’s a real clarity to anything so he’s done a fantastic job.”

Shane Duffy scored Albion’s only goal against Burnley last season.

But the emergence of Adam Webster has left a decision to make at the back.

Webster started last time out and Duffy was left out as Albion lost 4-0 to Manchester City.

Potter said of that run-out for Webster at the Etihad: “He was really good, and it said a lot about him that he was able to step into that kind of arena against that type of opposition.

“He contributed to the game.

“It was probably the biggest challenge you can give him.

“He’s one of a few options we have at the back.

“It’s good that he’s had his first start and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him.”

If he plays, a win over Burnley - and indeed a home win over anyone - would be a great Amex start for Webster.
