Leicester City are aiming to extend a three-match unbeaten run and keep a third successive clean sheet as they visit Brighton & Hove Albion, who are seeking to bounce back from defeat in their last two fixtures.

Team news

Brighton duo Pascal Gross and Davy Propper are both back and available for selection after recovering from injuries.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh (hamstring) remains sidelined while Dale Stephens is suspended.

Leicester could have James Maddison (knee) available but defender Harry Maguire (knee) is ruled out.

Rachid Ghezzal (leg) and Jamie Vardy (groin) are both doubts while Daniel Amartey is expected to miss the next four months with an ankle injury.

Did you know?

Brighton's Glenn Murray has scored five goals in his five PL home matches this season, with those strikes being worth seven points. But he has faced Leicester more often without scoring than any other opponent in English league football, drawing a blank in seven matches.

Leicester won both of last season's Premier League meetings with Brighton 2-0, with four different players scoring.

Expect goals on Saturday. Since the start of last season, Leicester have both scored and conceded in a league-high 32 PL matches.

The Foxes will be aiming for a faster start than in previous outings. Claude Puel's side have conceded a league-high 25 per cent of their PL goals this season in the opening 15 minutes of matches, with four out of 16, while they are one of three teams yet to score in that period along with Crystal Palace and Southampton.
