Leicester City travel to the AMEX Stadium on Saturday hoping to put a poor run of form behind them as they continue to push for a spot in the Champions League.

Brendan Rodgers has seen his side lose two of their last three games in all competitions – with their last win coming away at Aston Villa in late February. They drew 1-1 with Burnley last time out and are in danger of becoming dragged into a scrap for a top four place.  

Graham Potter’s men are just three points off the drop zone and are winless in five since a famous victory at Liverpool in early February. They will provide a stern test for Leicester and it should prove to be an entertaining affair with so much at stake.

Host commentator

It looks like it’s very much needed on this chilly Saturday evening.

You can count your blessings that you’re stuck here with me rather than out in the cold! Every cloud…


The Leicester strikers start together in the league for the second consecutive game with Harvey Barnes still out.

The Nigerian managed to get on the scoresheet last time out, and Brendan Rodgers will hope they can cause the Seagulls some damage tonight.




Brighton were the subject of a refereeing howler after Lewis Dunk’s smart free-kick goal was controversially ruled out by Lee Mason as they lost 1-0 to fellow strugglers West Brom.

In midweek, Leicester were unable to overcome Burnley despite Kelechi Iheanacho’s fine finish as they drew 1-1 at Turf Moor.


Brighton are still in a battle to secure their Premier League status for another year as they sit in 16th place.

They have not rarely been in the bottom three but the form of Fulham will have Graham Potter looking over his shoulder, with the gap between the two sides on three points.

For Leicester, they are facing a challenge to keep themselves in the top four after a loss against Arsenal then a draw against Burnley in their last two.

With a host of sides lining up to take their place in the Champions League spots, a win at the Amex is vital.

Starting XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Fofana, Soyuncu, Ricardo, Ndidi, Tavares, Tielemans, Castagne, Iheanacho, Vardy

Subs: Ward, Daley-Campbell, Fuchs, Thomas, Flynn, Leshabela, Choudhury, Mendy, Albrighton.

Starting XI: Sanchez, Veltman, White, Dunk (c), Burn, Bissouma, Gross, Lallana, Mac Allister, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Steele, Moder, Jahanbakhsh, Alzate, Welbeck, Izquierdo, Tau, Propper, Zeqiri

Hello and welcome to Sportsmail’s live coverage of the final Premier League game of the day as Brighton host Leicester City.

The Foxes have been one of the top side’s in the league this season but have seen their form fade of late and are winless in two in the top flight.

That means they travel to the Amex in desperate need of a victory in order to keep their place in the top four.

Graham Potter’s men are in similar need for a win themselves at the other end of the table as they sit just three points above the drop zone.

Team news on the way!
