Balogun set for second EPL start against Burnley

Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun looks good to start his second Premier League game of the season for Brighton when they come up against struggling Burnley this afternoon at the Turf Moore.

Balogun had only spent 25 seconds on the pitch before grabbing his maiden goal for Brighton against Crystal Palace last Tuesday which helped to put behind a disappointing start to the season.

And ahead of Saturday’s fixture, Balogun is to continue in the heart of defence following the suspension of teammate, Shane Duffy.

Th Nigerian is expected to team up with Lewis Dunk to provide cover for Brighton goalkeeper, Mart Ryan Houghton with Bernardo and Martin Montoya completing the back four.
