Leicester vs Brighton

Leicester will look to bounce back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome a high-flying Brighton to King Power Stadium for their Matchday 21 tie on Saturday evening. There appears to be no end in sight for Leicester City's problems as they are now being dragged into the relegation scrap. They are currently 15th on the table but with just one point between them and the bottom three, a serious upturn in form is needed. The Foxes head into Saturday’s clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their previous Premier League fixture. That result means they have now lost their last four Premier League matches, failing to score a single goal in that run. Brighton appear to be getting better as the season progresses. They are playing themselves into European contention and are currently above the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea. The players appear to have adapted quickly to manager Roberto De Zerbi’s philosophy and his quick passing style was on full display as Brighton claimed a 3-0 victory over Liverpool. They will buzzing with confidence ahead of their visit to King Power.
