Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch:

Summary and Key Takeaways:
Brighton's consistent form and tactical discipline under pressure make them the favorites against a Leicester side struggling to find stability under new management. Key players like Jamie Vardy for Leicester and Brighton’s leading striker could be decisive, but Brighton’s ability to execute on counter-attacks might just tip the scales in their favor.
