Good game so far. Both teams are attacking. Leicester will be looking over their shoulders if they don't get anything from this game.

Like the other games thus far, endless breaks and players lying on the ground in pain. And then there’s a water break coming up which isn’t needed and 1 min of added time. And there’s the water break. Feck off

It's 27 degrees atm. It is needed.

If leceister don't get a win from this then they're at threat for top 4, they have a tough remaining fixtures list. United, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Sheffield, Palace and Bournemouth.

Leicester's squad is so thin. I'd be amazed if they can see out top 4 given the amount of games needed to be fit in.

I think it is easier catching Leicester for fourth place than Chelsea.

We need to catch 5 points up on Leicester before our last game away against them for a win to potentially take us above them.
We have 5 points to catch up on Chelsea. Its basically the same gap, we probably need a win away v Leicester to overtake Chelsea anyway.

My feeling too, although they could just be starting very slow. At the end of the day its up us to beat what's in front of us, starting with Sheffield United. Drop points tomorrow and we really don't belong in the CL.

Think he’s been quite impressive. Chelsea got a buy back?
I'm not sure I don't think so but I can't imagine him returning. Unlike when we lost KDB/Salah we didn't lose him due to lack of giving him a chance he left due to Reece James being in his way. So unless we move to permanent 3atb (where Reece would likely be a RCB freeing up a wingback slot) I can't see him coming back here sadly.

Our loss will be someone else's gain though, most likely another top 6 club.

BHA ceding possession like they did v. Arsenal. Missed penalty looks like messing up my bet for 1-3.

Penalty was soft all round. Prediction: there could be another one.

It's not the time to start slow when your upcoming games are Everton Sheffield Tottenham Arsenal and us

Leicester looking poor here. If they don’t win, they are looking catchable.

If it was just a slow start after the break it would be one thing, but it’s been going on longer than that

They don't have the games remaining to start slow. Fingers crossed they slip up here as they have a tough remaining fixture list.

Bad result if for Leicester if they draw this. This isn’t just a slow start back like a lot of teams are having, they had been dropping points before the lockdown.

They may be catchable but I don’t like that we have them on the final day of the season. If we need any sort of result there we will bottle it.

Brighton looked the equal of Leicester for the first 70 mins. Getting squeezed now, though.
