Brighton & Hove Albion have won all three of their Premier League matches played on a Sunday this season, including a 2-1 win against Leicester City in September. The last time they won four consecutive Sunday league matches was December 2008-March 2013, split between League One and the Championship.

Leicester have kept a clean sheet in 56 per cent of their Premier League matches against Brighton (or five out of nine). Among all sides they have faced more than twice in the competition, only against Wolves (78 per cent) and Sunderland (57 per cent) have they recorded a shutout in a higher share.

Brighton have lost just one of their 10 Premier League away matches this season (W3 D6). No side have lost fewer on the road than them.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has lost four of his last six Premier League matches faced with an English manager (W1 D1), as many as in his previous 38 such matches in the competition (W28 D6).
