Leicester somehow managed to concede two goals after the 95th minute to lose 3-2 to Tottenham on Wednesday. Brendan Rodgers now has to pick his players up as confidence would have been shattered after that. Already down in the dumps with so many players unavailable, that is the last thing Rodgers' needed. Brighton again showed their class under Graham Potter with a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in midweek. They were actually the better team on the night but are the Premier League's draw specialists because they don't quite have the individual quality required to get over the line on a regular basis. 1:1
Brendan Rodgers will welcome back Daniel Amartey earlier than expected after Ghana's premature elimination at AFCON and he could start here. James Justin made his first Premier League appearance in nearly 12 months as a substitute in Leicester's dramatic 3-2 defeat to Tottenham on Wednesday. Luke Thomas took a couple of knocks before being replaced by Justin so there is a chance the 23-year-old could start here Boubakary Soumare was fit to feature from the bench against Tottenham but Brendan Rodgers looks set to be without 10 players again this weekend. Harvey Barnes is an option to start this one though there isn't an obvious position for him if Rodgers' persists with a 3-5-2 formation. Shane Duffy and Adam Lallana have been ruled out of Sunday's game, while Lewis Dunk will only make the bench at best. Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard will push for recalls after being benched in Brighton's 1-1 draw with Chelsea in midweek. Graham Potter, who has tested positive for COVID, is managing Tariq Lamptey's minutes carefully and he may drop to the bench here.
