Brightons experienced players have been crucial in the clubs promotion push this season, according to manager Chris Hughton. Hughtons side will be targeting their seventh consecutive win in the Sky Bet Championship when they host top of the table Burnley on Saturday lunchtime, live on Sky Sports 1HD.Currently four points behind with eight games to play, second-placed Brighton remain unbeaten in their past six home matches, and Hughton has credited having experienced players as the reason for their good position in the league. Brighton and Burnleys clash on Saturday is expected to be a sell-out I think its been pivotal for us this season and thats the reason why we started well, he said.We brought some of that experience on early in the pre-season which I felt helped us settle everybody down and give us a little bit more of a focal point and theyve been important for us all season.Its a wonderful position to be in. I look at where we were at this stage last season, its very, very different and these are the type of games, these are the type of challenges that you really want to be involved in. Tomer Hemed scored twice in six minutes against MK Dons to put Brighton into the automatic promotion spots However, despite a good record at home, Hughton has not underestimated his opponents ability to play away from home.Burnley are a fabulous side, he added. They have a system that they know very, very well, theyve got goalscorers and, in particular, Andre Gray who has been outstanding. They just do what they do very well, home or away.The reverse fixture in November ended 1-1, with both goals coming inside the first five minutes.More recently, Burnley have not lost in their last 10 matches, but Hughton is still hopeful they will be able to close the gap to Sean Dyches side. The game on Saturday is a big game because of where we are in the division and certainly at the start of the season our supporters wouldnt have seen this so anything can happen, he said.Its a big one because it means its point they dont get.
