Preview: Leicester City vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Leicester vs. Brighton

Leicester City have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Championship on Tuesday night when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes moved ahead of Cardiff City on goal difference thanks to their 1-1 draw at Birmingham City on Saturday.

In contrast, the Seagulls will be looking to put an end to a run that has seen them go without a win since September.

Sean St Ledger is still missing for the hosts with a hamstring problem, while summer signing Jamie Vardy could come back into the starting lineup following an illness.

Will Hoskins and Vicente are expected to miss out for Brighton as they recover from foot and thigh injuries respectively.

Current form:

Leicester: WWWWWD

Brighton: WWLDDL

Possible lineups:

Leicester: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Whitbread, Konchesky; Dyer, King, Drinkwater, Knockaert; Vardy, Nugent

Brighton: Kuszczak; Bruno, Greer, El-Abd, Bridge; Hammond, Crofts, Lopez, Bridcutt; Mackail-Smith, Barnes

Sports Mole says: 2-1
