Leicester City will look to make it two wins from two under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy on Sunday following a perfect start to life under the Dutchman.
Goals from Jamie Vardy, Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka saw City come out as 3-1 winners over West Ham United on Tuesday night. The game was Van Nistelrooy’s first in charge of the club since taking over just over a week ago.
The win moved City four points clear of the bottom three, with them looking to extend that gap when they face Brighton at the King Power Stadium. There is one blow with influential midfielder Facundo Buonanotte ineligible to play against his parent team.

Van Nistelrooy will therefore be forced into at least one change to his starting lineup for the game. The arrival of the new boss, plus the win over the Hammers has prompted anticipation for the clash.
With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about following the meeting with the Seagulls.

The match takes place on Sunday, 8 December, 2024 with kick-off at 2pm. The match is being played at the King Power Stadium, the second home game for Leicester of the week.
Is it on TV?
No, the game has not been selected for live broadcast in the UK. The match is taking place on Sunday due to Brighton’s midweek Premier League game against Fulham being played on Thursday night - City have therefore had an extra two days to prepare compared to their opponent.
