In Profile: Graham Potter's Talented Brighton Side
In a fixture which will see Brendan Rodgers' Foxes hunt a ninth win in 13 league matches, the Seagulls, meanwhile could climb as high as fifth with a victory.
As LCFC.com continues to profile every side City will face over the 2019/20 campaign, this week we take a closer look at Graham Potter's vibrant Brighton team...
The manager
Former Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion and York City left-back Graham Potter signed a four-year contract as Brighton's manager in the summer of 2019, following one year at Swansea City.
Since his appointment, the Seagulls have made an assured start to the 2019/20 season, securing wins over Watford, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Norwich City.
After graduating from the Open University with a degree in Social Science, working for the University of Hull as a football development manager and as a technical director for the Ghana women's team, Potter also completed a master's in Leadership and Emotional Intelligence, before going into professional football management.
Potter's career began at Östersund in Sweden, where he led them from the fourth tier to the Allsvenskan, the country's top division, eventually also winning the Svenska Cupen, or Swedish Cup.
That latter successful qualified his side for the second qualifying round of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League, where they would defeat Turkish giants Galatasaray 3-1 over two legs.
Also overcoming Fola Esch and PAOK, Östersund eventually reached the group stage and would finish second, level on points with Athletic Bilbao, seeing them into the knockout round.
Potter and his resilient, skilful side truly made headlines in England by sealing a remarkable 2-1 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, but would eventually suffer an aggregate defeat in 2018.
In the following summer, Potter moved to Swansea City, reaching the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup, finishing 10th in the Sky Bet Championship and building a youthful, talented squad.
The players
Graham Potter made 10 signings during his first summer window in charge at AMEX Stadium, including Adam Webster, from Bristol City, for a reported £20M, and Leandro Trossard, from Genk, for £18M.
Also coming in were Neal Maupay, from Brentford, who is currently the Seagulls' top scorer with four, and Aaron Mooy, who joined from Huddersfield Town on loan.
While Potter has several established Premier League players at his disposal, including Lewis Dunk, Glenn Murray and Pascal Groß, he also has been keen to promote youth.
After making an excellent impression at Under-23s level, including scoring at King Power Stadium against Leicester's youngsters, Irish striker Aaron Connolly was promoted to Brighton's first team.
In October, Connolly scored his first two goals in the Premier League in a brilliant 3-0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, earning him a maiden call-up for the Republic of Ireland and later making two outings.
Potter, meanwhile, has relied on four players to star in all 12 of their Premier League fixtures so far this season; defenders Dunk and Dan Burn, midfielder Dale Stephens and goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.
The trophy cabinet
Three-time third tier champions Brighton (1958, 2002 and 2011) have also finished as runners-up in the second tier twice, in 1979 and, most recently, in 2017.
Over their history, the Seagulls have also won the fourth tier twice, in 1965 and 2001, while lifting the Southern Football League title back in 1910.
In domestic cup competitions, meanwhile, the South Coast side were FA Cup runners-up in 1983, losing a replay to Manchester United, and FA Charity Shield winners in 1910.
The stadium
AMEX Stadium, Brighton's home since 2011, is among the most picturesque venues in English football, surrounded by woodland and including an iconic curved design to its four stands.
Based in the village of Falmer, the 30,750-capacity ground was built after Brighton left the Goldstone Ground in 1995 with no permanent new home arranged.
After ground sharing at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium for two seasons, 50 miles away in Kent, the club then moved to Withdean Stadium, where they remained between 1999 and 2011.
After expansion work since its opening in 2011, AMEX Stadium allows Brighton to regularly attract crowds in the region of 30,000, while also providing a day-to-day home for the club.
The fixtures
After hosting the Foxes in Falmer this coming Saturday, Brighton travel to Anfield to tackle Premier League leaders and European champions, Liverpool, on Saturday 30 November (3pm kick-off).
They then face Arsenal away on Thursday 5 December (8:15pm kick-off), Wolves at home on Sunday 8 December (4:30pm kick-off) and Crystal Palace away on Monday 16 December (8pm kick-off).
In 2020, meanwhile, Graham Potter's side will visit King Power Stadium to play against Leicester City on Saturday 21 March (3pm kick-off).
