Team News

Brighton
Leicester
  • Fabian Hurzeler has issues at the back with Jan Paul van Hecke suspended, and Adam Webster, Joel Veltman and Igor Julio ruled out.
  • Eiran Cashin should, therefore, start alongside Lewis Dunk at the heart of the defence for the Seagulls.
  • Matt O'Riley could keep his spot in the number 10 role, with Joao Pedro potentially coming into the side.
  • Abdul Fatawu remains absent for Leicester owing to injury, and he won't play again until next season.
  • Harry Winks has been suspended by the club due to an internal disciplinary matter, while Facundo Buonanotte is unable to face his parent club.
  • Even after a 3-0 loss to Newcastle, Ruud van Nistelrooy hasn't shown a willingness to tinker with the three-man backline.

Prediction

  • Brighton are now winless in four heading into Saturday's welcome of Leicester following their 2-1 A23 Derby defeat to Crystal Palace. That said, they should feel confident about getting back to winning ways this weekend.
  • The Foxes' dire run of form under Ruud van Nistelrooy continued on Monday night as they lost 3-0 to Newcastle. Unable to keep opponents out and struggling to score, the Foxes look doomed under the Dutchman.
  • Even with a number of senior centre-backs out, this should be a relatively routine win for Brighton.
