Défait samedi dernier pour la 13ème fois de la saison, Leicester se dirige dangereusement vers le bas du classement. La formation de Claude Puel, dont la dernière victoire remonte au 1er janvier dernier, doit absolument relever la tête face à Brighton. Les Foxes ont la possibilité d’obtenir un résultat positif face aux Seagulls qui ne sont pas à l’aise à l’extérieur. Pour notre pronostic, on mise sur une victoire de Leicester.
Claude Puel's departure from Leicester had been coming for a while, so it was no surprise to see him sacked on Sunday.
There have been a few names bandied about as his replacement and talk of an interim manager until the end of the season, but the Foxes have not been the same since they won the league in 2016 and I don't think they will find a solution until they sort the dressing room out.
Yes Puel was on a bad run and had lost five of his past six league games. He did not help himself either when he picked a weakened team that lost to League Two side Newport County in the FA Cup.
But, from the outside, it appears there is an issue at Leicester with player power, and the amount of influence some individuals have.
Whether or not that played a part in Puel leaving, I am expecting to see a reaction from the Leicester players on Tuesday, and I also expect them to win - that is the way football works.
Brighton are on a bad run themselves at the moment, with only two points from their past six games. Their manager Chris Hughton probably thought 'that is all we need' when he heard Puel had gone.
I do think the Seagulls will kick on again, but it is more likely to happen at home because their away record is pretty poor.
They play Huddersfield at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, which should be the time when they return to winning ways.
