Latest Leicester City vs Brighton team news
Leicester City will be without Facundo Buonanotte, on loan from Brighton, for this weekend's match, forcing manager Ruud van Nistelrooy to adjust his attacking line despite the team scoring three goals earlier in the week. El Khannouss could play in center, while Stephy Mavididi and Jordan Ayew will compete for the left wing position.
Wout Faes, after 13 months of continuous play, may remain on the bench, with Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard as the main centre-back pairing. Harry Winks is still struggling with a hamstring injury, while Ricardo Pereira (hamstring) 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), affecting the flexibility of their defense. James Milner (hamstring), Adam Webster (hamstring), and Solly March (knee) are still unavailable, limiting manager Hurzeler's ability to make many changes to the lineup.
Goalkeeper Jason Steele may be given a chance to start after Verbruggen's mistake at Craven Cottage, but the Seagulls may still put their faith in the Dutch goalkeeper.

Latest football match prediction: Leicester City vs Brighton
After a run of six winless matches, Leicester returned to winning ways for the first time since October 19th, when they beat West Ham at King Power. Under the guidance of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester won 3-1, with goals from Jamie Vardy, Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka, although West Ham pulled one back from Niclas Fullkrug.
Leicester are aiming for their first consecutive win at King Power since April, sitting 16th in the Premier League table, four points ahead of Ipswich Town. Jamie Vardy, despite limited playing time under Enzo Maresca in the Championship, is rediscovering his form with seven goal contributions in 13 Premier League appearances.
Leicester have lost three of their first seven games at King Power, but remain confident they can get a good result on Sunday. However, they have only two home wins this season, one of the lowest records in the Premier League.
Brighton, after a run of three unbeaten games, saw their unbeaten run end on Thursday with a defeat to Fulham. Despite equalizing through Carlos Baleba, they conceded further goals from an own goal by Matt O'Riley and a strike from Alex Iwobi. Brighton made defensive errors, with Bart Verbruggen's mistake allowing Fulham to score early.
Despite three away defeats this season, Brighton remain fifth in the table, just three points behind a Champions League spot. Manager Fabian Hurzeler remains committed to his attacking tactics. Brighton's away record is second only to Liverpool and Chelsea.
