    The hosts are seeing more of the ball in the past few moments. Anthony Knockaert goes haring after a long pass down the left wing, but Jonny Evans keeps his cool and plays it back to Kasper Schmeichel.

    Brighton v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton: “We know that games at home bring more pressure to get results, as well as ones against teams outside the top six.

    “That doesn’t mean you’ll get those results but we’re always realistic and we have to make the most of those opportunities.

    “We had a good spell but are now on the back of two defeats, so we know the level we have to reach.”

    Leicester City manager Claude Puel: “The international break was a good thing for us, for some players, for their bodies, their minds and for the international players - it was important to have this.

    "During two weeks, they can forget a little and have their mind with other thoughts. The international players come back with a smile and are happy to come back."

  6. Lawro's predictionpublished at 14:57 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November 2018

    Ex-Liverpool defender

    It has been a difficult few weeks for Leicester after the helicopter crash that killed Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others, but they have coped with everything very well, on and off the field.

    Vichai's son, Aiyawatt, has taken over the club and pledged to carry on his father's work so nothing will change behind the scenes as they look to move on, and I imagine the Leicester players will be thinking 'that is great, now we need to do our part'.

    With only one defeat from their first five games at the Amex Stadium this season, Brighton's home record is decent - but I just feel Leicester will edge this one.

    Prediction: 1-2

    Brighton v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Leicester won both league games between these two teams last term, including a 2-0 victory at the Amex Stadium - their first win at Brighton in five attempts.

    The Seagulls, however, have lost just one of their eight Premier League home matches since that defeat, winning four and drawing three.

    Who will come out on top this afternoon?
