While there will be no fans present on Sunday, both sides will want to do their supporters proud, despite having very little to play for.

Left-back Charlie Taylor will miss the game with a hamstring problem, joining Ben Mee (thigh), Ashley Barnes (hernia), Jack Cork (ankle) and Matt Lowton (foot) on the sidelines.
Brighton have no fresh injuries, but Jose Izquierdo and Steven Alzate will both miss the game.
Predicted Lineups
Burnley: Pope; Bardsley, Long, Tarkowski, Pieters; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil; Rodriguez, Wood.
Brighton: Ryan; Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Burn; Bissouma, Stephens, Propper; Mooy, Trossard; Maupay.
Recent Form
Burnley are unbeaten in seven games and have looked more than comfortable defensively, with Nick Pope looking to be the first English 'keeper to win the Golden Glove since Joe Hart in 2014/15.
Brighton have had a poor run of form recently with three losses in their last six games, albeit they came against Liverpool, Man City and Man United. They have struggled for goals though, only scoring twice in one game since lockdown - the 2-1 win over Arsenal. Despite this, Graham Potter will be very happy with Brighton's season as they have secured their Premier League status for another year, and have surpassed last year's points total in doing so.
Here's how both teams have fared in their last five matches:
Burnley
Norwich 0-2 Burnley (18/07)
Burnley 1-1 Wolves (15/07)
Liverpool 1-1 Burnley (11/07)
West Ham 0-1 Burnley (08/07)
Burnley 1-1 Sheffield United (05/07)
Brighton
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle (20/07)
Southampton 1-1 Brighton (16/07)
Brighton 0-5 Man City (11/07)
Brighton 1-3 Liverpool (08/07)
Norwich 0-1 Brighton (04/07)
Prediction
This game screams 0-0.
Both teams are more than comfortable defensively, and neither team is particularly prolific going forward.
Prediction: Burnley 0-0 Brighton
