Brighton v Leicester: match preview

Brighton v Leicester
Brighton v Leicester: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

The fitness gods are seriously testing Leicester. Brendan Rodgers has seven players missing as his side attempt to avoiding ceding further ground to the pack chasing a top-four finish. The ghosts of last season’s failure to qualify for the Champions League add even more pressure and Brighton will hope they can capitalise. Graham Potter’s side need a win. Climbing away from danger and a line through the agonising West Brom debacle last week are a must. Graham Searles
