Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Leicester City at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 2 of the 9 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
