Leicester City return to action when they host in-form Brighton & Hove Albion this afternoon – kick-off 17pm.
The Foxes are still searching for their first point since the Premier League’s return following the World Cup break, losing all four of their matches since Boxing Day. The pressure is on manager Brendan Rodgers from supporters, particularly after their dismal showing in the East Midlands derby at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Brighton, meanwhile, are one of the division’s in-form teams and will be full of confidence following their emphatic 3-0 win over Liverpool last weekend, which helped continue their push for a European place. Because Leicester’s clash with the Seagulls falls inside the Saturday afternoon blackout period, the game is not being shown on television domestically but highlights will be available on YouTube after the game and Match of the Day on Saturday night.Liverpool vs Chelsea and Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United are both Premier League games which have been picked for live television broadcast on Saturday. Leicester vs Brighton is being broadcast worldwide as part of the top flight’s broadcast deal with overseas television channels and their respective streaming services.
