Brighton’s injury list was extensive for a large part of the season and they were recently made by another considerable setback. Georginio Rutter was a large part of Hurzeler’s debut season at the top, but he will miss a large part of the season due to an ankle injury.
Igor’s campaign is over, while Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Tariq Lampty, Adam Webster and Jason Steele are only expected from their respective setbacks next month.
Joel Veltman is a doubt about a knock that kept him out of the A23 derby. Jan Paul van Hecke will receive two yellow cards in Selhurst Park in Selhurst Park last weekend.
Brighton predicted line-up against Leicester (4-3-3): Bugge; Veltman, Hinshelwood, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, Wieffer; Minth, Pedro, withoma; Welbeck.
Harry Winks remained excluded for the 3-0 defeat in Newcastle by Van Nistelroy’s squad, and there was still no update about a potential return.
The problems with the Foxes injuries have not changed, without new concerns from the defeat on Monday. The visitors are again without Harry Suttar, Abdul Fatawu and Odsonne Edouard.
Facundo Buonanotte could be called back to the start-Xi, even if Van Nistelroy keeps three backs, while 15-year-old Jeremy Monga should be back in the squad.
Leicester predicted the line-up against Brighton (3-4-2-1): Hermansen; Justin, Coady, Thomas; Pereira, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristianen; El Khannouss, Buonanotte; Vardy.
We know that Leicester is terrible, but Brighton is injury -related and insecure. While you want to drain some steam in Selhurst Park after the defeat of last week, your recent dismay suggests that this struggle could be more difficult than expected.
Leicester has little concept to claim Premier League points and are very aware of their fate, but maybe they will apply something to make them competitive.
Nevertheless, Brighton should go away with the three points.
