The Seagulls have made a solid start to the campaign winning three of their first four matches. Leo Trossard scored a late winner at Brentford last time out to move Brighton up to sixth on the league standings, a point behind the leaders. 

"Of course a clean sheet away from home is fantastic and we'll take the three points because three wins out of four is not easy," Brighton manager Graham Potter said in the aftermath. 

"Sometimes people want answers to things but football is just a beautiful game. The challenge for us was to maintain and improve the performance level because last season our performances were good, we just didn't get the points.

"That can happen and it was a tight game. It wasn't like we were the dominant side, it was evenly fought and I thought Brentford were slightly better than us in the first half and we were better in the second half.

"But the bit of brilliance at the end with Leo means we come away with the three points," he added. 
 
Leicester have won two and lost two to start the season. The Foxes beat Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-0) and Norwich City (2-1), but lost to West Ham United (4-1) and Manchester City (1-0) respectively.
