Leicester will hope to bypass lowly Brighton and pick up three more valuable points on Saturday, as they battle for a top-four finish this season.

The Foxes are on course to grab a Champions League spot at the end of the campaign, with just 11 Premier League fixtures remaining between now and May.

Brendan Rodgers’ men beat Brighton 3-0 with ease when these sides met in December, and the boss will be eyeing another comfortable victory to calm the nerves following this week's draw at Burnley.

However, Brighton aren’t expected to completely roll over on Saturday. After all, they are nervously looking over their shoulder at a resurgent Fulham, who are threatening to escape the relegation zone.

Whether Graham Potter’s men can eke out a draw here remains to be seen, but even a point would be welcome on the south coast if they can hold Leicester at bay.

Our prediction: Brighton v Leicester

Brighton have had a week to prepare for this clash and face a Leicester side without the frightening Maddison and Barnes in attack.

However, even with a blunted forward line the Foxes should claim a win here, with Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho taking the offensive lead.

Brighton’s defence should hold up for much of the game, but Leicester’s quality is likely to shine through in the end.

Our prediction: Brighton 1-2 Leicester (10/1 at bet365)
