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 out of action, could continue to be on the bench, with Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard the starting centre-back pairing. Harry Winks remains sidelined 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 defence. James Milner (thigh), Adam Webster (thigh) and Solly March (knee) are still out, preventing Hurzeler from making too many changes to his line-up.
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.

Latest football commentary Leicester City vs Brighton
After a run of six games without a win, Leicester returned to winning ways for the first time since October 19, when they beat West Ham at the King Power. Led by Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester won 3-1, with goals from Jamie Vardy, Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka, although West Ham had a goal back from Niclas Fullkrug.
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 playing little 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 won two home games this season, one of the lowest records in the Premier League.
Brighton's three-game unbeaten run came to an end on Thursday when they lost to Fulham. Despite equalising through Carlos Baleba, Fulham added to the scoreline with 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 only bettered by Liverpool and Chelsea.
