Amex Stadium is the venue as Brighton & Hove Albion take on an out-of-sorts Leicester City in a potentially high-stakes Premier League encounter for the visitors.
Despite an underwhelming 2-1 defeat away to Fulham last time out, Brighton & Hove Albion welcome this round ranked fourth in the Premier League table, courtesy of a sensational four-match start to the season (W3, D1). Yet, Fulham may have exposed some of Brighton’s defensive weaknesses, as they scored more goals against them in that victory than all of the Seagulls’ four previous Premier League oppositions combined (1). Keen to get back to winning ways immediately, Graham Potter’s side will be dwelling on last season’s unbeaten top-flight H2H record against Leicester (W1, D1). However, it’s worth noting that a 2-1 triumph in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22 remains Brighton’s solitary success in ten Premier League matches against this adversary (D3, L6).
In the meantime, Leicester City’s disheartening 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United in midweek Premier League action puts them at risk of losing five consecutive top-flight outings for the first time in four years. Ominously for manager Brendan Rodgers, Claudio Ranieri was dismissed after seeing the ‘Foxes’ suffer five straight Premier League losses despite leading them to the title only a year before. Without a single penny spent in the transfer window, it comes as no surprise the visitors enter this round nailed to the bottom of the table with a single point to their name from five matches (D1, L4). Action on both ends of the pitch could be the order of the day, though, with 25 of Leicester’s last 28 Premier League away games seeing both teams on the scoresheet.
