Overview
Despite being in good form in previous matches, Brighton surprisingly suffered a 1-3 defeat against Fulham in round 14 of the Premier League. This defeat caused the "Seagulls" to fall behind the top 4, as well as being closely followed by Fulham in the rankings.
Therefore, Brighton will want to win all 3 points in the away match against Leicester in round 15 of the Premier League. This is a goal that Brighton can achieve, when they won 2 and drew 2 against Leicester in the last 4 matches in the Premier League alone.
Manager Fabian Hurzeler has done a great job since taking charge at Brighton this summer, with the German having a quality squad to choose from after a huge transfer investment.
Meanwhile, Leicester just had an important victory against West Ham after a series of 3 consecutive defeats. This result helped "The Foxes" get 13 points and temporarily avoid the dangerous 18th position.
With the current squad, Leicester are expected to stay in the Premier League. However, what they need is stability from now until the end of the season.
With 28 goals conceded, Leicester currently have the third worst defensive record in the league, ahead of Wolves and Southampton. This match will be a real test for them as Brighton's attack has scored 23 goals so far.
Brighton are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Leicester, although three of those games have ended in draws.
Human resources situation
Harry Winks, Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira and Jakub Stolarczyk remain sidelined for Leicester through injury.
On the other side of the front line, Brighton will not have the services of Adam Webster, James Milner, Solly March, Ferdy Kadioglu and Jack Hinshelwood.
Expected lineup:
Leicester City: Hermansen, Justin, Coady, Kristiansen, Vestergaard, Ndidi, El Khannouss, Soumare, McAteer, Buonanotte, Vardy.
Brighton: Verbruggen, Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan, Baleba, O'Riley, Joao Pedro, Mitoma, Rutter, Welbeck.
The match between Leicester and Brighton takes place at 9:00 p.m. on December 8 (Vietnam time).
