Our prediction for this Premier League match:

Leicester

Leicester

Brighton

Brighton

Leicester City will be looking to build on a 3-1 win over West Ham when they face Brighton on Matchday 15. The Foxes are determined to secure yet another Premier League survival, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to escape the danger zone. Even though Patson Daka has overcome his injury, Jamie Vardy will continue leading the line for the hosts as the veteran striker opened the scoring in the midweek triumph. The likes of Fatawu, Opoku, Pereira, Stolarczyk, and Winks are out of contention with injuries for the home team.

The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Fulham. Brighton are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Leicester City’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Ferdi Kardioglu and Jack Hinshelwood are major doubts, while Brighton defender Joel Veltman should be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
