Though they have no chance of qualifying for Europe this season, Leicester City will be relatively happy with their progress this season under Claude Puel. They are currently eighth in the league table with just 8 points separating them from a place in Europe. They lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup quarterfinal before the international break but have lost just two of their last seven league outings.
Their last Premier League game ended in a victory against West Brom and they are back in action this weekend when they travel to Falmer Stadium to take on Brighton.
The Seagulls also lost in the FA Cup quarterfinal against Manchester United but have lost just one of their last six games. The Foxes will want to finish the season on a high but Brighton have not been easy to beat at home. Here is the predicted lineup Claude Puel might field for this tie:
Team News
The Foxes have no new injury issues to worry about ahead of this tie. Kelechi Iheanacho is still nursing his injury and could miss this game while Daniel Amartey remains the only other player unavailable for this clash.
Expected Leicester City lineup (4-2-3-1)
Defence
Though not at his best this season, Kasper Schmeichel remains the first choice for Puel and should start between the sticks this weekend. Harry Maguire has been effective and should retain his place in the first team alongside Wes Morgan, who needs to find some consistency.
Ben Chilwell is now the preferred left-back for Puel and is expected to start this game while Danny Simpson is an ever-present at right-back for the Foxes.
Midfield
Wilfried Ndidi has been one of the best players in his role this season in the league and is one of the first names on the team sheet for Puel at the moment. He is expected to start alongside Vicente Iborra, who got himself a goal in the victory over West Brom.
Attack
Riyad Mahrez will have to play a crucial role if Leicester are to take anything from this game. He will start on the right flank while Jamie Vardy will continue to lead the line. Both players were on the scoresheet in the thumping victory against the Baggies.
Demerai Gray has turned into a crucial player for the Foxes and could start on the left flank while Shinji Okazaki is expected to add some energy to their attack.
Here is how they might line up:
