Leicester vs Brighton live stream: how to watch 2021 Carabao Cup online from anywhere

Leicester's season has been a wild ride so far, a slow start giving way to utter chaos. The Foxes' past four games have produced 20 goals, while Brighton's outstanding early form has dipped of late. Which versions of the teams will turn up today? Here's how to watch a Leicester vs Brighton live stream and catch all the action from the Carabao Cup from wherever you are on Earth.

The goals have dried up lately for Graham Potter's men, who've managed just two in the past four. The hope for the Seagulls is that this is just a blip rather than an unwelcome return to their profligate old ways.

Brighton beat Leicester 2-1 when the sides met in September, goals from Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck proving enough for three points, though it could so easily have been 3-2 the other way.

Strikes from Ademola Lookman and Wilfred Ndidi were chalked off as Harvey Barnes was stood in an offside position and adjudged to be impeding the goalkeeper's view on both occasions.

It's a clash of two progressive, entertaining teams, so read on as we explain how to watch a Leicester vs Brighton live stream today from anywhere in the world.
