Brighton & Hove Albion go up against Leicester City in the Premier League 2022-23 at the American Express Community’s Stadium in Falmer on Sunday, September 4, 2022. The match will start at 6:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Brighton & Hove Albion began the 2022-23 Premier League season with a win against Manchester United and have collected seven points in the following four games. The Seagulls are currently fourth on the points table this season with 10 points. Adam Lallana and Jakub Molder will remain on the sidelines for Brighton due to injuries. They signed Billy Gilmour on transfer deadline day from Chelsea to strengthen their midfield and the Scotsman is expected to feature on the bench in this match.
The summer transfer window has seen Leicester City lose their captain after Kasper Schmeichel’s move to OGC Nice. The club have been fairly inactive in the transfer market and have failed to sign players to improve their team in key positions. Leicester are currently at the bottom of the Premier League 2022-23 points table with just one point in five games, losing four games in a row.

Pascal Gross: Brighton’s attacking midfielder has been in great form this Premier League season, with three goals and an assist in the first five matches. The playmaker has seven goal contributions in his last eight matches in the competition. Gross has the ability to provide key passes to unlock the opposition defence while also making late runs inside the box to score goals.
Leandro Trossard: The 27-year-old Belgian forward has scored one and assisted one goal in the Premier League 2022-23 campaign. Trossard is a progressive dribbler and consistently makes the defenders commit fouls around the penalty area, increasing the set-piece opportunities for his team.

Jamie Vardy: The Englishman is third on Leicester City’s all-time top goal-scorers list, with 164 goals in 385 appearances for the Foxes. Vardy has 133 goals and 42 assists in the Premier League and also holds the league record for scoring in 11 consecutive matches.
James Maddison: Leicester City’s no. 10 is one of the most creative midfielders in the league. Maddison has scored twice in four matches this season, making it a total of 35 goals in 137 Premier League matches. The 25-year-old is a set-piece expert and is the club’s primary free-kick taker.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City Premier League 2022-23 prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion are off to a flyer this Premier League season, winning three of their five matches, and have beaten Leicester City at home last season. They are expected to win this match on current form.
The Foxes are yet to win a match this season as their defence has let in the second-most number of goals. Leicester City, however, have the quality of players to challenge Brighton but are unlikely to win this match.
