Brighton v Leicester Preview

Games don't get much bigger than this one. Lose it and City could find themselves 5 points adrift of a play-off place with just 5 games remaining. Win the game and Leicester fire themselves back into 6th place, possibly fifth, if Blackpool can beat Nottingham Forest. Draw today's game and any of Bolton, Middlesborough or Derby could find themselves right in the hunt for 6th place. It could be a defining weekend in Leicester's season.

Morgan will return to the starting line-up today, alongside Keane, De Laet and Konchesky. The rest of the side is difficult to predict as they have performed so badly in recent months. It would be no surprise to me to see some academy players in the squad - there is no such thing as a gamble when you have won just 1 of the last 11 league games. Brighton are unbeaten in their last 6 league games at the Amex Stadium. Argentinian striker Leonardo Ulloa is a big danger, having scored 7 goals in his last 6 starts for the Seagulls.
