Team news
Graham Potter will be itching to give deadline day signing Billy Gilmour a run out but the Brighton boss is more than likely going to stick with Moises Caicedo in the middle of the park.
Danny Welbeck and Tariq Lamptey will both be pushing for a start having made appearances of the bench in the 2-1 loss against Fulham.
Young playmaker, Jeremy Sarmiento is another member who could be in contention following his knee injury.
However, Adam Lallana and Jakub Moder look almost certain to miss the home clash with Leicester.
Elsewhere, Brendan Rodgers will be sweating over the fitness of Daniel Amartey who missed out on the loss to Manchester United.
But it could pave the way for deadline day arrival Wout Faes to slot in next to Jonny Evans at the back.
