Leicester made the most of their first game under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy as the next home game vs. Brighton will be another tricky fixture. We do believe that it looks possible to get a win, even without Facundo Bounanotte, not able to play as he is on loan from the opponent on the day.
Leicester will not have any other injury worries, besides the once being out from previous weeks, and hopefully a new fighting performance will see Leicester fans being rewarded with 3 more points.
Brighton shall never be faulted as they look sharp under new boss Fabian Hurzeler. They have managed well so far, staying 5th in the table, and it will be very interesting to see how their line-up will fit Leicester.
Mads Hermansen needs to put on his best performance as well as having most players on a level far above their avarage, that could hopefully see Jamie Vardy again getting on the scoresheet and reach that double figure again, he will continue to score for Leicester. Bilal El Khannouss will again play a vital role to support our man on top.

Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, commonly referred to as simply Brighton, is a professional football club based in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club’s home ground is the Falmer Stadium.
Founded in 1901 and nicknamed the “Seagulls” or “Albion”, Brighton played their early professional football in the Southern League, when they won their first and still to this date their only major domestic trophy, the FA Charity Shield (later known as FA Community Shield) in 1910 which they won 1–0 over Aston Villa in the final. They were later elected to the Football League in 1920. Between 1979 and 1983, they played in the First Division, and reached the 1983 FA Cup final, losing to Manchester United after a replay. They were relegated from the First Division in the same season, read more
