On the hunt for a fourth win from five matches in all competitions, Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Burnley to their Amex home in Saturday's Premier League contest.
The Seagulls came from behind to overcome Brentford 2-1 in midweek, while the Clarets were brought crashing back down to earth in a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Roberto De Zerbi cut a furious figure on the touchline as Bryan Mbeumo gave Brentford the lead from the penalty spot in the first half, but a crisp Pascal Gross strike levelled matters a few moments later, and the German then turned provider for Hinshelwood to head home the clincher.
Further attempts to increase their lead proved fruitless for Brighton - Simon Adingra in particular was left to bemoan a few missed openings - but three points were merited for De Zerbi's side, who produced the perfect response to their agonising loss at the hands of Chelsea.
Remaining on the coat-tails of their fellow continental contenders, Brighton enter the 16th round of fixtures sitting eighth in the Premier League table, within touching distance of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Manchester United thanks to the former two's defeats on Thursday.
