Brighton & Hove Albion are set to play host to Leicester City at the American Express Community Stadium on Saturday for their latest English Premier League game.
Brighton & Hove Albion come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Sam Allardyce's West Bromwich Albion last Saturday at the Hawthorns. A first-half goal from centre-back Kyle Bartley was enough to secure the win for the Baggies.
Leicester City, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Sean Dyche's Burnley yesterday at Turf Moor. A goal from Czech Republic international Matej Vydra for Burnley was cancelled out by a goal from Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho for Leicester City.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion are currently 16th in the league table, three points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham. The Seagulls have played some good football, but Graham Potter's side have suffered as a result of some poor finishing.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are 3rd in the league table, one point behind second-placed Manchester United. The Foxes have won only two of their last five league games, as injuries to key players proving to be a major problem.
Brighton & Hove Albion arguably deserve to be higher up the table, and given Leicester City's injury issues, a draw seems to be an ideal result.
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Leicester City
