Leicester City v Brighton: Preview, Team News, Predicted XI | Premier League 2018-19
Leicester City is all set to host Brighton Hove and Albion today amidst rumours of the impending arrival of a new manager at the King Power.
It has been a season of ups and downs for the Foxes with with the terrible news of the death to their chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in October.
The team then had a turnaround in the fortunes before once again finding themselves in a slump in the past few weeks due to poor form.
The defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend resulted in Claude Puel being given the sack and Mike Stowell and Adam Sandler being given the role of caretakers.
The Foxes are winless in their last 7 matches with their last victory coming up against Everton on New Year's Eve.
Like Leicester City, Brighton find themselves in a spot of bother. Their last league win came against Everton last year.
Amidst the 6-match winless streak, the Seagulls have seen three victories in the FA Cup against Bournemouth, West Brom, and Derby.
Chris Hughton will need his side to find their form in the league with the Seagulls just 3 points off the relegation zone.
The first encounter between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium.
