Leicester City vs Brighton

Live action, analysis, and reaction from the King Power Stadium as City look to end a run of four straight Premier League defeats and stop themselves ...

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Maddison are both expected to be back in the squad today, the latter likely from the bench after two months without a competitive game. But we've shown the character and quality to turn such form around already this season and I'm confident we can do that again. After four straight defeats, Brendan Rodgers' side are truly in the battle at the bottom.

"I'm obviously disappointed with that but delighted for the players in terms of the gameplan. Leicester fans did at least have the welcome return of James Maddison, who returned to the team after spending 10 weeks out with a knee injury he picked up before the World Cup in Qatar. The home side did however have early opportunities to go ahead. One mistake for us," he said. "I think we played well. However, goals from Albrighton and Barnes put the home side in charge and Leicester looked like earning their first win after four straight losses despite Brighton continuing to create openings.

Leicester City did just enough to stop the rot of defeats at the King Power but it was a story of two teams who appear to be going in opposite directions.

“I don’t like to speak about referees so “I don’t know. There is VAR, but I don’t know if it was working or not,” De Zerbi said about the decision.

How we scored the Leicester City players as Evan Ferguson scored a late goal to deny Brendan Rodgers' side victory after Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes ...

When he did get near the ball, he was bounced away by Dunk. Marc Albrighton: He provided a calm finish with his first involvement in the game, but did not feature too heavily after that. He wasted a good early chance with a poor pass to Vardy, and struggled to get by his markers. He scampered up the right to create City’s first chance of the match, linked well with his fellow Belgians, and looked one of the few players who was able to read Brighton’s play and make an interception. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: A sloppy pass started the move for Brighton’s goal and he was victim of Rodgers’ wrath for not playing an easy ball inside later in the half. Youri Tielemans: The full range of Tielemans’ passing was not on display, albeit there were a few nice balls over the top and cute passes forward on the counter. Luke Thomas: He was far too easy for March to get past early on, but he wisened up and the Brighton winger had to shuffle inside to get joy in the second period. His positioning to stop crosses reaching the most dangerous areas was very good, but there were too many moments where he dived in recklessly and put his team-mates in trouble, not least Thomas for the Welbeck penalty appeal. But then he lost all composure in the last ten minutes, making shaky clearances and diving in unsuccessfully. He then proved a solid last line of defence to keep out March and Mac Allister before he was beaten by Ferguson’s late header. Brighton were by far the better team in the second half, and should have had a penalty when Luke Thomas tripped Danny Welbeck. Albrighton, on as a substitute moments earlier for the injured Praet, was the scorer, keeping his cool to finish under Robert Sanchez after Barnes and Youri Tielemans had both had efforts blocked.
