Team News

Brighton
Leicester
  • Jürgen Locadia missed the defeat to Cardiff before the international break due to illness but should be available this weekend.
  • David Button, Pascal Groß and Davy Pröpper are all ready to make their comebacks from injury against Leicester, though only the latter duo will be considered for starts.
  • With Dale Stephens starting the first of a three-match ban this weekend, Pröpper could be required to make his first appearance since the start of October here. Yves Bissouma is another option in central midfield.
  • Alireza Jahanbakhsh is still ruled out for Chris Hughton's side.
  • James Maddison has recovered from injury and should regain his place in the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Harry Maguire missed the international break through injury but should be ready by next weekend.
  • Jamie Vardy is carrying an injury and a decision on his involvement will be made on the morning of the game.
  • Rachid Ghezzal, who will likely lose his place in the team to Maddison, is also an injury doubt for the Foxes.
  • Daniel Amartey and Matty James are certainly ruled out for Claude Puel's side this weekend.

Prediction

  • The international break came at a good time for Brighton, as Chris Hughton's side have lost back-to-back matches.
  • Leicester are unbeaten in three (W1, D2) and are still coming to terms with the tragic loss of their chairman last month.
  • Leicester did the double over Brighton last season, winning both matches 2-0. The Foxes will also aim for three points on Saturday.
