Team news James Maddison returned to the Leicester squad for the visit of Brighton. The forward had been out since November with knee problems but was on the bench while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall made a comeback from a glute problem. Meanwhile, Jan Paul Van Hecke made his full Brighton debut as Roberto De Zerbi made two changes. Danny Welbeck also returned for the visitors in place of Evan Ferguson. The Video Assistant Referee, Lee Mason, checked for possible offsides against Barnes and Jamie Vardy, but allowed the goal, and it was the home side who went ahead after 63 minutes as Barnes tapped home after Luke Thomas's near-post flick on from a corner. However, just as the home faithful began to dream of a first win in two months, Pervis Estupinan's cross from the left was headed in by the unmarked Ferguson, 18, to hand the visitors a deserved draw after a close VAR call and several other near misses.
However, 11 minutes later and totally out of the blue, the Foxes levelled though Marc Albrighton's close-range finish, with the hosts then going in front as Harvey Barnes swept home just past the hour mark.

Leicester 2-2 Brighton: Foxes end four-game losing run with battling drawEvan Ferguson came off the bench to earn Brighton a dramatic 2-2 draw at Leicester City as the hosts missed the chance of claiming a first league win since the World Cup. Roberto De Zerbi's side arrived in the east Midlands in great form, looking for a third league victory in a row after last weekend's resounding 3-0 home win over Liverpool, and duly took a deserved 27th-minute lead thanks to Kaoru Mitoma's stunning strike.
