  2. Big night for Lampteypublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 23 June 2020

    Leicester v Brighton (18:00 BST)

    Big day for Brighton's Tariq Lamptey, who makes his first Premier League start for the club. He's only come on as a substitute before in the league, when he played for Chelsea in their 2-1 win at Arsenal in December.

    He is only the second teenager to play for Brighton in the Premier League, after Aaron Connolly.

    21-year-old Alexis Mac Allister is also making his first league start for Brighton.

    Brighton's Graham Potter, speaking to Sky Sports, on his team changes this evening: "A bit of fresh legs, a bit of rotation when people are just getting to speed. They have been fighting and chomping to get on the pitch so looking forward to seeing them play.

    "We just look at the next match and will try and get three points tonight. That's the focus. We will try out best to get a result."

    Leicester v Brighton (18:00 BST)

    Brighton’s last victory against Leicester in any competition was a 4-1 triumph at the King Power Stadium in the Championship in April 2014.

    They have taken just one point from their 30 available in the Premier League away from home against sides starting the day in the top four, drawing their first such match at Watford in August 2017 before losing each of the last nine in a row.

    Brighton’s win against Arsenal in their last match was their first Premier League victory of 2020. They’ve not won back-to-back games in the competition since November.

    They have also won 12 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, one more than they had in their first two campaigns in the competition combined (11). The Seagulls came from behind to win their last match against Arsenal.

  5. Hammers still hopeful on Ngakiapublished at 17:32 British Summer Time 23 June 2020

    West Ham are still hopeful about keeping Jeremy Ngakia, even though manager David Moyes had not real update on the defender's contract situation.

    Ngakia is out of contract on 30 June and is rumoured to be keen on a move to Watford.

    But Moyes says the Hammers have still not abandoned all hope of keeping the 19-year-old, who has been with the club since 2014.

    "We are in dialogue and it is getting nudged along every hour," said Moyes.

    "There is nothing definitive but we like him and hope he chooses to stay."

  6. Lawro's predictionpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 23 June 2020

    Leicester v Brighton (18:00 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson

    Leicester's draw with Watford on Saturday was such a strange game, with both goals coming in stoppage time. Ben Chilwell's strike to put the Foxes ahead was such a cracking goal and they must have thought they had nicked the points.

    That is exactly what Brighton did against Arsenal later in the day, and that really was a vital win for them.

    It takes the pressure off the Seagulls a bit at the bottom of the table now they have a five-point cushion above the bottom three, but I cannot see them upsetting Leicester.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

    Aitch's prediction: 3-0

    Tottenham v West Ham (20:15 BST)

    After Tottenham's draw with Manchester United on Friday, where Harry Kane only had 36 touches and one shot on target, former Arsenal player Paul Merson said Kane would not manage a high goalscoring total under Jose Mourinho due to his style of play.

    Cue the Portuguese manager doing his homework and reeling over stat after stat about previous great strikers he's managed.

    Watch that below and read more from Mourinho, including him calling Kane a "hero", here.

    Leicester City

    Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a really important game for us, we made a good start at the weekend but the home games are something you look towards.

    "The players played well in the second half and the fitness levels were really good. It is about closing the game out and unfortunately we conceded the corner. We are playing a good team, especially with the weather we will have to suffer and we will do everything we can to get the three points.

    "Graham Potter has been excellent since he came into the job and you can see how they work, like us they want to play as well. It is a hot evening.

    "The players are used to changes in the shape but the style will be the same, we did not want to make too many changes but just to freshen it up after a quick turnaround."

    Leciester v Brighton (18:00 BST)

    Jamie Vardy is still chasing that 100th Premier League goal. He has scored in each of his last four matches against Brighton.

    AND, all of those have come in the second half.

    He is also still the league's top scorer with 19 goals in 27 appearances.

    Not too shabby.

    So a big night for West Ham but if Brighton can get their second win on the bounce, they will be feeling much more comfortable going into the last seven games of the season.

    They still have Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City to play though.

    Tottenham are boosted by the return of Dele Alli and Lucas Moura after suspension and injury respectively, while Jan Vertonghen and Michel Vorm have signed new short-term deals.

    Defenders Japhet Tanganga and Juan Foyth remain sidelined.

    West Ham centre-back Angelo Ogbonna has returned to training and is being assessed.

    Forward Sebastian Haller again looks set to miss out, as does Robert Snodgrass due to an ongoing back issue.

  20. 'Vardy is one of the best'published at 16:50 British Summer Time 23 June 2020

    Leicester v Brighton (18:00 BST)

    Brighton manager Graham Potter was one of a host of Premier League managers who did their pre-match news conference via Zoom yesterday and he had lots of nice stuff to say about Leicester and Jamie Vardy.

    "Leicester are a very good team, organised, powerful and have great experience as well as some younger players with not just potential but can affect the top of the Premier League," said Potter.

    "They can attack in different ways and are strong in defence. Jamie Vardy is one of the Premier League’s best, a Premier League winner, he was brilliant at the Amex [he scored in a 2-0 win for Leicester] but they have got other players that can hurt you."
