Leicester City vs Brighton Preview and Livestream EFL Cup
The Foxes won the FA Cup last year beating Chelsea in the high-profile final. But this is a new season, and the Carabao Cup is an entirely different competition from that. Often seen as the least important trophy in the season by PL clubs, teams have to take a call how they want to field their line-ups in the early stages of the tournament.
The Foxes did that last season and suffered a shock third round exit at the hands of Arsenal. With Europe and Premier League to also worry about, Rodgers will not have any other option but to field a weaker team. However, they still should be able to a job over Graham Potter’s Brighton. The Seagulls winning 2-1 at the Amex against Leicester earlier this season shows that this will be not an easy game at all.
