Leicester City hosts Brighton in one of the all-Premier League sides fixtures in the League Cup, looking to stretch their good run. The Foxes are on three straight wins and have scored two or more goals in the last four matches. They are getting their act together after a slow start to the season and going into this game, they came out 2-1 winners over a hard fighting Brentford. Patson Daka has been crucial for the side; in the last three matches, the Zambian international has contributed to six goals. He has five goals and an assist in that run and for his confidence, he may be handed a start here. There’s still defensive work to be done though; the Foxes have no clean sheet in the last five matches. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the last four matches and all the last four have ended in over 2.5 goals.

Brighton have been on a slump lately; they aren’t living up to the expectations of their fine start and going into this game, they are winless in the last four matches. In their last game, they fell 4-1 to Manchester City. One thing about Brighton though, defensively they’ve been among the best organised this season. They go to this game with three clean sheets in five matches and have conceded more than a goal in just one of their last seven games. The visitors go to this game on the back of two straight away draws. This is going to be the second meeting between the two sides this season; in the first, they beat Leicester 2-1. They’ve however lost four if their last six matches against Leicester City.
