Latest Leicester City vs Brighton team information

Leicester City will be without Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte for this weekend's game, forcing manager Ruud van Nistelrooy to make some changes to his attacking options despite scoring three goals earlier in the week. El Khannouss could play centrally, while Stephy Mavididi and Jordan Ayew will compete for the left-back spot.

Wout Faes, after 13 months of continuous playing time, could continue to be on the bench, with Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard as the main centre-back pairing. Harry Winks is still struggling with a thigh injury, while Ricardo Pereira (thigh) and Abdul Fatawu (knee) are expected to return in March and August 2025 respectively.

Brighton are also without Jack Hinshelwood (knee) and Ferdi Kadioglu (muscle), which affects the flexibility of their defense. James Milner (thigh), Adam Webster (thigh) and Solly March (knee) are still out, preventing Hurzeler from making too many changes to his lineup.

Goalkeeper Jason Steele could be handed a starting spot after Verbruggen's mistake at Craven Cottage, but the Seagulls may still have faith in the Dutchman.

Hermansen; Justin, Coady, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy

Premier League Match Report: Leicester City 1 - 1 Brighton and Hove Albion - Fosse Posse

Leicester are looking to win back-to-back games at the King Power for the first time since April and sit 16th in the Premier League, four points clear of Ipswich Town. Jamie Vardy, despite limited playing time under Enzo Maresca in the Championship, is shining again with seven goal contributions in 13 Premier League appearances.

Leicester have lost three of their first seven games at the King Power but are confident they can get a result on Sunday. However, they have only two home wins this season, one of the lowest records in the Premier League.

Brighton's three-game unbeaten run ended on Thursday when they lost to Fulham. Despite equalising through Carlos Baleba, Fulham added on a Matt O'Riley own goal and an Alex Iwobi strike. Brighton were guilty of defensive errors, with Bart Verbruggen making a mistake that allowed Fulham to score early.

Despite three away defeats this season, Brighton are fifth in the table, just three points off a Champions League spot. Manager Fabian Hurzeler has stuck to his attacking tactics, with Brighton's away record bettered only by Liverpool and Chelsea.
