The Citizen (Gauteng)

Mike’s picks

-

Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk have been the defensive rocks of Brighton & Hove Albion this season with Duffy having played all of their English Premier League games, while skipper Dunk has only missed one match.

Dunk also scored in the Seagulls’ last two league games although they lost to Cardiff City and Everton.

Yes, the pair have conceded 18 goals to this point, however, it is the understand­ing that they have among themselves that will be the difference when they face Leicester City tomorrow afternoon at the Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls face a Leicester side that sit three positions and as many points above them. The Foxes come off the back of goalless draw against Burnley and their recent form does not look convincing as they have only collected five points in contrast to Brighton’s tally of nine.

I feel Chris Hughton’s men will beat the Foxes. Pool Name: S6 V3 P2 M1: Brighton & Hove Albion v Leicester City. Previewed above. Brighton victory. Tip: Brighton = 1. M2: Everton v Cardiff City. Home side to win it. Tip: Everton win = 1. M3: Fulham v Southampto­n. A share of the spoils. Tip: Draw = 2. M4: Manchester United v Crystal Palace. United to win. Tip: United win = 1. M5: Watford v Liverpool. High scoring win for visitors. Tip: Liverpool win = 3. M6: West Ham United v Manchester City. City to win.

Tip: City win = 3.
