BRIGHTON vs LEICESTER STREAM LIVE
Brighton began with back-to-backs victories over Burnley and Watford before a setback at the hands of Everton, but they returned from the international break and beat Brentford 1-0 thanks to a 90th-minute goal from Leandro Trossard. Graham Potter’s side sits 6th in the Premier League table ahead of matchweek 5.
As for Leicester, early-season results have been a bit trickier with wins over Wolves and Norwich, but losses to West Ham United and Manchester City shortly thereafter. Brendan Rodgers’ side has struggled with availability as well, with Wesley Fofana (broken leg) expected to be out until sometime after the new year and key summer signings Patson Daka and Boubakary Soumare having played a combined 63 minutes through four games.

Prediction
Brighton managed to pick up right where they left off last season — free-flowing possession (58.3 percent of it on average, 2nd-most in the Premier League behind Man City) from a side seemingly unafraid of over-extending themselves in attack — only with slightly better luck in front of goal. Leicester have been anything but sure-handed at the back, making this one more than winnable for Brighton. Brighton 2-1 Leicester.
