The Foxes' new Dutch gaffer's dugout debut could scarcely have gone much better. A dominant 3-1 defeat of West Ham has restored both a sense of confidence and fun to the King Power after Steve Cooper's drab tenure. Leicester are four points clear of the drop but with winger Abdul Fatawu now out for the season, they must rely on Bilal El Khannouss to continue his goalscoring form against the Hammers to start easing clear of the drop.

Brighton, meanwhile, are having their second mini wobble of the season. After going four Premier League games without a win in September, the Seagulls drew 1-1 with rock-bottom Southampton last weekend, before falling to a 3-1 midweek reverse at fellow over-performers Fulham. Fabian Hurtzeler's high press has impressed many since his summer arrival from St Pauli but if another season of European football is to follow at the Amex, a win is a must.

Tune in on Sunday to find out who comes out on top in this fixture, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
