Cags is a busted flush and should be on his way.

I think he needs someone good next to him, he performs much better when paired with either Evans or Fofana. He's a good player but at the moment his form and confidence is shot.

Talking of Fofana he was ahead of schedule and then he was due back February, and now there is absolutely no prognosis for him. WTF is going on! are we hiding him until end of Jan?

Fofana was talking up being back for Xmas. However, it appears as though his enthusiasm for this wasn't matched by the medical staff. He did go back to France for a while but he's back now and due to resume training with the first team "at some point in February" according to BR.

Given that Justin resumed training with the first team a couple of months before he played again, I'm not sure about the chances of seeing Fofana any time soon. My best guess would be April.
 
This game was supposed to be one of those rare and beautiful Saturday 3pm kick offs.

Then it got moved because some fecking idiots are playing some wank nonsense over at Welford Road.

Now of course, the Tedious Tigers game has been postponed.

Rugger ****s.

Why cancelled?

Did they finally decide egg-chasing is too shit a sport to be bothered about, and they've dropped the whole thing?

European game, none of this rearranging business. Tigers awarded the game because Bordeaux had a load of Covid cases.
 
Glad it's not tomorrow. Allows me to go and watch some proper footeh
 
Head-to-head

  • Brighton earned their first Premier League victory against Leicester at the ninth attempt in September this season (D2, L6). Albion could do the league double against them for only the third time.
  • The Seagulls have scored four goals in their two league and cup games versus Leicester this season, one more than they managed in the previous nine meetings combined.

Leicester City

  • The Foxes could lose their opening two league matches of the year for the first time since 2006.
  • Leicester have lost seven of their 10 Premier League games this season against the nine teams above them prior to the latest round of fixtures.
  • They have conceded multiple goals in 12 league matches this season, a joint-high alongside Newcastle United and Norwich City going into the weekend.
  • James Maddison is poised to make his 200th English league appearance. Thirteen of Maddison's 15 goals or assists this season have come in his past 11 games.

Brighton & Hove Albion

  • Brighton's only defeat in 10 Premier League away games this season came at Aston Villa in November (W3, D6).
  • They have won all three of their league fixtures played on a Sunday so far this season, including at home to Leicester in September.
  • All six of Brighton's league victories this season were against teams who went into the weekend below them in the table.
  • Albion have scored after the 80th minute in seven Premier League matches this season. Only Manchester City, who have done so nine times, have a better record.
  • The Seagulls have conceded just nine second-half goals in this season's top flight, the joint fewest alongside Liverpool.
