Brighton head to Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday night, aiming to open up a bit of a gap between themselves and the bottom three.

The Seagulls are just four points and two places above the drop zone heading into the weekend’s games, despite playing good football at times. A defeat to Southampton last time out summed up their season so far.

Leicester have had a more consistent time of matters, earning a top-four spot at present and able to overtake Chelsea if they win this fixture.
