We're confident we'll win. They're confident we'll win. Even the neutrals are confident we'll win. Everything points to a loss. Really hope we blitz them though.

The most curious thing..
They will defend in depth, we will fail to break them down, and late in the second half were loose.

They will want it more than us today. Narrow defeat I reckon

Much more worried about the Bournemouth game than this one. Fully expect Leicester to go out and commit suicide today.

Leicester low down the home form table brighton high on the away form table, all set up for a banana skin. I don't feel very confident today and think this will be the game that brings us back down to earth. I'd take point now

Your support is not that great
The question I'm asking in my mind is this. There's so much discussion and analysis of the way Brighton play under De Zerbi, so presumably coaches far less astute than Rodgers will be thinking hard about how their tactics can neutralise what we try to do. Nobody will be surprised anymore by our "foot on the ball" stuff at the back and the way we explode into attack once we've got the ball where we want it to be.
I think we should be good enough to beat Leicester, but will they allow us to play the way we've been doing in recent weeks?

Last game before the 5 booking suspension cut-off. Ali Mac at risk.
So what do they do though? If pressing is too dangerous, they’ll have to sit back - not too likely at home. I don’t think RDZ’s tactics have been much of a secret. He was doing the same at Sassuolo. If the players execute it properly, seems very difficult to stop.
