Brighton-Leicester is a match for the sixth day of the Premier League: here are the likely formations, where to watch it on TV and the prediction
BRIGHTON – LEICESTER | Sunday 3pm
The hosts are currently fourth in the table, in the middle of the Champions League zone. The guests, on the other hand, have only scored one point after five matches and are in last place. Incredible, yes, as Rodgers’ team does not have a squad to stay at the bottom anyway. OK, not even to stay in the highest parts of the league table, but a start like this nobody expected and not even the most pessimistic of fans had budgeted for it. In short, the Foxes, they need to turn things around.
Back to Brighton, however: Potter’s line-up is the real surprise of this first part of the championship, but it has already begun to show some signs of weakening. The defeat against Fulham, away, has brought everyone back down to earth. The goal is to reach salvation and in the head there can be nothing else, and that is also why every point taken from here on will only be seen as one step less towards the target to be reached.
The Prediction
Leicester can’t lose. Rodgers’ team cannot afford another false step. A draw against Brighton, who want to put the defeat against Fulham behind them, seems possible.
Brighton-Leicester’s likely line-up
- BRIGHTON (3-5-2): Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Caicedo, Mwepu, Mac Allister, Esptupinian; Gross, Trossard.
- LEICESTER (4-2-4-1): Ward; Justin, Ndidi, Evans, Thomas; Soumare; Maddison, Tielemans, Dwsbury, Barnes; Vardy.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
