Mark Lawrenson reveals key Brighton concern and makes Leicester City scoreline prediction

Writing in his weekly predictions column for BBC Sport, pundit Mark Lawrenson backed a 2-0 win for the hosts.

Justifying his prediction, the ex-Seagulls defender claimed: "It was the same old story for Brighton on Monday. They played pretty well against Southampton, but they lost. That seems to happen a lot.

"The Seagulls play some decent stuff and make chances, but something is not quite clicking for them at the moment. Getting more than one goal a game is proving difficult and they don't seem to go long periods without conceding either, which is a worry.

"Leicester, in contrast, are ticking along nicely at the top end of the table. I always think of them as being better when they are the away side, but they should have too much for Brighton."

Meanwhile, Lawro's sparring partner for the week, Lonely The Brave drummer Gavin 'Mo' Edgeley, also picked a 2-0 victory for the Foxes, and contended: "Brighton were a bit unlucky to be beaten by Southampton but I am backing Leicester here.

"Jamie Vardy keeps scoring, which is great to see - I am a big fan because of the path he took to get to the top."

Last time the two sides met, back in June, the two sides played out a goalless draw at the King Power Stadium, in a game in which the Foxes dominated possession.
