All you need to know about Leicester City’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion, including how to watch, live stream details, injury news and more.

Leicester City’s quest to pull off the unthinkable continues as they make the trip to the south coast to face Brighton.

The Foxes broke a 141-year record in the defeat to Newcastle United after losing the eighth consecutive Premier League game without scoring a goal. Coincidentally, Brighton were the last side Leicester scored a top flight home goal against.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s future is in doubt and with a 15-point gap to make up and only seven games left, a win will only be enough, as well as hope for a Wolverhampton Wanderers defeat.

So, with that, here is everything you need to know about Brighton vs Leicester.

What channel is Brighton vs Leicester on?

Brighton vs Leicester live stream

Since there is no live TV broadcast of the game, there will also be nowhere to stream the fixture at the Amex Stadium.

Short highlights will be available on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel almost immediately after the game, as well as Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer.

Brighton vs Leicester H2H record

Unlike most of the top-flight opponents, Leicester have a relatively small pool of results to look at when facing Brighton.

The Foxes will play the Seagulls for the 45th time across competitive fixtures.

It’s actually Leicester who have the upper hand in the meetings having won 19 of the previous 44 games between the two.

Leicester team/injury news

Van Nistelrooy will have a near-fully fit squad to select from, despite confirming that Wout Faes had picked up a small injury in midweek.

Jeremy Monga became the second-youngest debutant in Premier League history against Newcastle and all eyes will be on the Leicester boss to see if he will select the 15-year-old again.

Given the continuous struggle to pick up results, there is every chance that players could rotate, meaning names such as Ricardo Pereira could come back into the XI.
