Leicester City face Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League this weekend, with both teams needing to get back to winning ways for very different reasons.

The Seagulls are still embattled in a real fight for survival this season, despite consistently being one of the more impressive teams in the league with their build-up play and style. A woeful lack of goals has plagued them, with just one goal per game on average across the season as a whole.

The Foxes’ woes are more recent, with injuries hampering their charge for a Champions League spot.

Leicester do remain in third place, but they have won just two of the last five in the league, including a draw with Burnley in midweek - who themselves are one place above Brighton in the table.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match at the Amex Stadium.

Prediction

The Seagulls are running short of games to find the right combination in the final third but they might just find a route through a patchwork Leicester defence. Brighton 2-1 Leicester.
