Michael Keane confident of "massive" Brighton & Hove Albion scalp

Michael Keane acknowledges the importance of Sunday afternoon's "massive" Championship clash between Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Burnley defender Michael Keane has admitted that Sunday's top-of-the-table clash against Brighton & Hove Albion is a "massive game" for his side.

The two automatic promotion-chasing teams face off in the pick of the Championship fixtures this weekend at Turf Moor.

Victory for the Clarets will be enough to lift them into the top two, while a slip-up for Hull City elsewhere will see them climb to the summit.

Speaking to Burnley's official website ahead of the big showdown, Keane said: "It's a massive game for us, they have done really well and obviously they're unbeaten.

"We are only two points away from them, though, and if we beat them we'll go above them, so we are looking to win the game and push on.

"At home with the fans behind us we feel like we will score goals, so if we defend like we did against Wolves then hopefully we will keep a clean sheet again."

Keane, who was recently linked with a January move to the Premier League, has featured 16 times for the Lancashire outfit so far this term.
