Phil Neville sounding like a decent commentator on my stream. Miles better than when he did that England Italy World Cup game a few years back and was hammered on social media.

Brighton looked the equal of Leicester for the first 70 mins. Getting squeezed now, though.
Leicester have picked up a bit I'd still say Brighton have been rather comfortable. They look pretty toothless.

Leicester in a bit of trouble for top 4 if they draw this, after looking very comfortable in the pre-corona part of the season. If either us or Wolves win our game in hand, we're 6 points behind Leicester, and Leicester's remaining games are: United, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Sheffield, Palace and Bournemouth

We comparatively have a pretty easy remaining 8 fixtures, Wolves a little harder but not as hard as Leicesters.

Chelsea is an FA Cup game. They have Everton in the league.

Only watched the second half, Leicester don’t look right at all. Should have won last game and be beating Brighton here tonight, they might just get sucked in to the top 4 fight now.

Not a handball if youre falling down is a rule but don't know if that applies.

Another 0-0. What a letdown this restart has been.

Happy to see Leicester dropping points. Win our game tomorrow & we’re 6 points behind them with an easier run in & a game against them.

Brighton were very good defensively, I don't remember Leicester creating a clear cut chance.

Brighton won't be an easy game next week. They looked comfortable tonight.

Blocking a header going towards goal with your arm in a very unnatural position surely must be a pen?

Soyuncu is a top player. If I were Pep, that would be my CB signing in the summer to partner Laporte.

Excellent re-start from Brighton. I had feared for them but they've looked really good in their first two games. Still have some tough games coming up so not safe yet.

4 massive points in two games for
Brighton.

If anything, Leicester are most likely to drop out the top four. They look stale!

Yep they look the team most likely to drop out if United or Wolves can put together a good run over the last 8 games. tough run of games for them too.

game against BHA is worrying me after their last 2 games.

Win tomorrow and we are 6 behind Leicester and 5 behind Chelsea who play City the following day. With two catchable teams and in the last 8 of the Europa League not qualifying for the Champions League is starting to look less and less excusable for Ole.

Yeah I actually now think they are more catchable than Chelsea. Form is everything in a short spell of 9 games like this, bit like a World Cup.

On paper Brighton at home was probably deemed a "easy" fixture for Leicester, yet didn't turn out that way as Brighton got a deserved point out of that game. They have a week rest now before facing United and i'm not expecting United will get anything easy against them.

We'are taking it. Good result for us, their upcoming fixtures will not be nicer than Watford & Brighton. Let's make sure we get 3 points against Sheffield.
