Location: Amex Stadium
Time: 3pm
When these two sides met back on 8th December, Leicester City snatched a dramatic point, as the Seagulls had initially taken a 2-0 lead thanks to goals by Tariq Lamptey and Yankuba Minteh, before 86th and 91st minute strikes from Jamie Vardy and Bobby De Cordova-Reid earned the Foxes an unexpected point.
Brighton’s season is much brighter than their opponents, as the Seagulls have enjoyed a solid campaign under Fabian Hürzeler, having accumulated 47 points from 31 matches, winning 12, drawing 11 and losing eight, seeing them sit just four points behind the likes of Aston Villa in seventh-place, meaning, that a good run of results could see them qualify for European football.
The Seagulls sole focus is on their league campaign, as they suffered a disappointing FA Cup quarter-final exit to Nottingham Forest, despite knocking out the likes of Newcastle United (2-1), Chelsea (2-1) and Norwich City (4-0) in previous rounds.
Leicester City’s season has been incredibly turbulent, with there being plenty of fan unrest at the club.
Steve Cooper was initially in charge of the Foxes and in hindsight, wasn’t doing a bad job despite his record of just two wins in 12 while at the King Power Stadium, as at the time of his departure, Leicester were one point above the relegation zone, a position which they could only dream of at present.
Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge on 29th November and won his first game in charge of the club at home to West Ham on 3rd December via a 3-1 scoreline, but, has failed to make any form of positive impact since, as the Foxes have won just two of their last 19 under the Dutchman, seeing his win percentage lie at 15%.
