Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of this Premier League clash between Brighton and Hove Albion and Leicester City!
Brighton welcome the Foxes to the Amex Stadium as they target a fourth consecutive league victory on home soil. Graham Potter’s men have sealed impressive wins against the likes of Tottenham and Everton of late, but the 12th-placed side enter this clash on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United last time out.
Leicester travel down south in a rich vein of form which has seen them win four consecutive Premier League matches. Brendan Rodgers has guided his side to second in the table with the season’s midway point fast approaching, and they enter this match following an excellent 2-0 victory over Arsenal before the international break.
SUBS: Ezequiel Schelotto, Leon Balogun, Pascal Gross, Glenn Murray, David Button, Yves Bissouma, Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
BRIGHTON (3-4-3): Mat Ryan; Adam Webster, Shane Duffy, Dan Burn; Martin Montoya, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Solly March; Leandro Trossard, Neal Maupay, Aaron Mooy.
SUBS: Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton, Danny Ward, Dennis Praet, James Justin, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wes Morgan.
The players are now emerging from the tunnel as kick-off edges closer at the Amex Stadium.
Leicester made a very bright start to proceedings on the south coast, but they then allowed Brighton to gain more of a foothold towards the end of the half. Rodgers will be hoping his side can capitalise on their lively attacking play, while Potter will demand his side improve their final ball into the box to make the most of the good positions they are getting in.
The players are now back on the pitch ahead of the start of the second half.
That's all for now. Thanks for following live coverage of this Premier League clash!
Brighton will now be looking to bounce back from this defeat when they make the difficult journey to face Liverpool next weekend, while Leicester will be seeking their sixth straight league win when they host Everton at the King Power Stadium next Sunday.
