The Seagulls are still embattled in a real fight for survival this season, despite consistently being one of the more impressive teams in the league with their build-up play and style. A woeful lack of goals has plagued them, with just one goal per game on average across the season as a whole.
The Foxes’ woes are more recent, with injuries hampering their charge for a Champions League spot.
