As the Foxes prepare for another key clash in their top-flight campaign, here’s a closer look at the recent numbers, trends and memorable moments in this fixture.

Evenly poised – Draws common

Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Leicester City vs. Brighton

The last five Premier League encounters between Leicester and Brighton have been finely balanced, with four draws and a win apiece. The last meeting – a 2-2 stalemate at King Power Stadium in December – typified the competitive nature of this fixture, as late efforts from Jamie Vardy and Bobby De Cordova-Reid cancelled out earlier goals from Tariq Lamptey and Yankuba Minteh on Filbert Way.

In fact, the Foxes have drawn their last three home league matches against the Seagulls, while the AMEX Stadium saw a high-scoring 5-2 defeat for City in September 2022 – featuring a brace from Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister, now at Liverpool.

Cup memories – City on top lately

Kelechi Iheanacho - Leicester City vs. Brighton

While league points have been hard-fought, City can take encouragement from recent cup clashes. In the 2021 Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round, a last-gasp strike from Kelechi Iheanacho sealed a 1-0 victory behind closed doors at King Power Stadium – ahead of us lifting the trophy for the first ever time.

Later that calendar year, during the following campaign, the Foxes edged out Brighton in the Carabao Cup Fourth Round – a 2-2 draw settled by a 4-2 win on penalties, with strikes from Harvey Barnes and Ademola Lookman in normal time.

History in the making – Feats yet to be achieved

Leonardo Ulloa - Leicester City vs. West Ham

No Leicester player has ever scored a hat-trick against Brighton, though Jamie Vardy leads the way with seven goals against the Seagulls – making him the Club’s all-time top scorer in this fixture.

Brighton’s record is more spread out, with multiple players netting twice, including former Foxes striker Leonardo Ulloa and current Seagull Danny Welbeck. City fans will also recall a significant moment in this fixture’s history – Easter Saturday, 2003, when we secured promotion to the Premier League with a win on Filbert Way.
