Now they have 3 matches won, 1 games lost and 1 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fourth place, with a total of 10 points having won three matches, drawn one game, and lost one game.

A solid defensive team

Defence begins with attack and Brighton have defended well as a team, borne out by conceding three goals in their previous matches. Every player has contributed to them delivering a solid defensive display this Premier League season. The number of goals that a team scores can sometimes give a misleading impression of performance. Brighton have found the net six times (4 from open play and two penalties), but their performance at times this season has been average. This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Alexis MacAllister (3), Pascal Gross (3), and Lewis Dunk (1).

Brighton are likely to be missing three of their key players when they start Sunday’s game, due to injury and illness.

Leicester have lost two meetings of their two League matches on the road this season.

A win in this fixture would take Leicester City’s points to 4 in the League.
