Leicester will be keen to register a statement victory in front of their home supporters when these two sides face each other.
Brighton & Hove Albion will hope to continue their good run of form when they travel to an inconsistent Leicester City side on Saturday. Despite being the visitors, Brighton could very well be labelled as the favourites in this match. When the form of both sides is taken into account, it is clear to see that Brighton are the one who are going through a good streak. Meanwhile, Leicester City have now lost four Premier League games on the bounce to edge closer to the relegation zone. Therefore, Leicester will be keen to register a statement victory in front of their home supporters when these two sides face each other.
