Leicester’s England Premier League fans are already looking forward to the 21st matchday, when Leicester City will play Brighton & Hove Albion on January 21, 2023. When Thomas Bramall blows the opening whistle at 3:00 PM UTC, up to 32312 people will watch the game live.
On September 4, 2022, the American Express Community Stadium in Falmer hosted a matchup between the two teams. They fought for victory less than a year ago. In the most recent match, Leicester City lost to BHA, who scored five goals. Fans and the manager of Leicester City have high expectations for the team this time around. Brighton & Hove Albion scored 8 goals in their last three games against Leicester City, while Leicester City only scored 5.
Due to the likely extreme cold during the game, players may experience difficulties. Wind shouldn’t be a problem at all because gusts are only expected to reach 6 kilometers per hour.
Leicester City vs Brighton Team News :
On Saturday, struggling Leicester City will play Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium. This weekend, the Foxes will attempt to end their Premier League losing streak of four games.
With only two points separating them from West Ham United in 18th, Brendan Rodgers’ team is dangerously close to the relegation zone. Before the World Cup break, Leicester City appeared to have found some form after a disastrous start to the 2022-23 season.
However, since club football resumed at the end of December, pandemonium has returned, and their only wins since then have come against Gillingham in the FA Cup and MK Dons in the League Cup.
In their most recent game, they lost to Nottingham Forest 2-0. After limiting the Foxes to just one shot on target, Steve Cooper’s team was able to secure the victory thanks to a brace from Brennan Johnson in the second half. It was a well-earned victory for Forest.
In the meantime, Roberto De Zerbi is in charge of Brighton & Hove Albion. Solly March scored twice and Danny Welbeck scored brilliantly for Brighton as they defeated Liverpool 3-0 at the AMEX last weekend.
The Seagulls have scored numerous goals recently, and they are currently riding a three-game winning streak across all tournaments. In their last five games, they have scored over three goals on average, keeping their European hopes alive.
When Leicester City comes to the King Power Stadium on Saturday, they will want to get a head start on an out-of-sorts team and beat them quickly.
