The South Coast outfit dropped more points in mid-week and lost 3-1 away at Fulham. Brighton conceded early, Carlos Baleba equalised but Matt O’Riley’s own goal and late Fulham confirmed the defeat.

Defensive pair Adam Webster and Ferdi Kadioglu are also carrying injuries and won’t play at the King Power.

Verdict
