Your support makes all the difference.Leicester City will hope to rediscover a winning touch to boost their Champions League hopes, when they head to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Foxes have been hard-hit by injuries to the likes of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes of late, with a draw against Burnley in midweek leaving them third in the table but with just two wins from their last five.
That comes in addition to being knocked out of the Europa League by Slavia Prague, which will no doubt leave Brendan Rodgers with mixed feelings: little chance of silverware for the season, but more time to rest up between league games and try to secure a top-four finish.
