If selected, Jamie Vardy will become the first Leicester City player to reach 250 Premier League appearances. He’s the Foxes' leading appearance-maker, goal scorer (120) and assist provider (39) in the competition.

Only reigning Premier League champions Manchester City (15) and European champions Chelsea (15) have kept more Premier League clean sheets so far in 2021 than Brighton & Hove Albion (11).

With nine points from four matches, this is Brighton’s best start to a league campaign since 2015/16 (10 points), and their best ever return at this stage of a top-flight season.

Leicester’s last five Premier League matches played on Sundays have produced a total of 23 goals (4.6 per contest), with the Foxes scoring 12 and conceding 11.
