Team News: Two changes for Brighton & Hove Albion against Leicester City

Isaiah Brown misses Brighton & Hove Albion's trip to Leicester City with a hamstring injury.

Chris Hughton has made two changes to his Brighton & Hove Albion side for this afternoon's trip to Leicester City.

Isaiah Brown misses out with a hamstring injury picked up during the Seagulls' loss to Manchester City last weekend, while Tomer Hemed drops to the bench.

Replacing Hemed in attack is Glenn Murray, while Jamie Murphy lines up on the left wing.

The coastal club's record signing Jose Izquierdo is not yet ready for inclusion, having not yet trained with his new teammates.

The hosts, meanwhile, have opted to field an identical XI to the side that came out the wrong side of a seven-goal thriller against Arsenal in the opening game of the season last weekend.

Kelechi Iheanacho is unable to play a part due to a toe problem, while Danny Drinkwater, Vicente Iborra, Robert Huth and Nampalys Mendy are all out of contention with injuries.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs; Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy
Subs: Hamer, Chilwell, Gray, Ulloa, King, Amartey, Slimani

Brighton & Hove Albion: Ryan; Bruno, Dunk, Duffy, Suttner; Murphy, Propper, Stephens, March; Gross; Murray
Subs: Maenpaa, Huenemeier, Rosenior, Bong, Skalak, Knockaert, Hemed
