Zambian duo of striker Patson Daka and midfield ace Enock Mwepu are expected to make their English Premier League debuts this afternoon.
Patson Daka was involved in the Community shield win over Manchester City while Mwepu has been heavily involved in the Seagulls preseason friendly matches.
ENOCK MWEPU
The Computer is expected to start for Brighton and Hove Albion as they visit Turf Moor Stadium this afternoon for their opening match of the 2021/2022 English Premier Leage campaign.
Graham Potter is expected to line up the Community alongside Yves Bissouma and Adam Lallana in the middle of the park.
Potter spoke highly of Mwepu in his pre-match press conference.
GP: "He's scored already and can add goals from midfield. There's no doubt he's got the capability to play in the Premier League." 💬🇿🇲

PATSON DAKA
The smiling assassin is expected to make the Foxes match day squad as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at King Power Stadium.
Manager Brendan Rogers is expected to start with Jamie Vardy upfront like he did in the FA Community Shield with Patson Daka laying in wait as a game changer /super sub like he was used in the Community Shield.
The 2017 CAF young player of the year will be looking to hit the ground running and get involved in the action quickly and possibly look for his first EPL goal.
The pair meet at King Power Stadium for the 2021/22 opening top-flight encounter 4pm kick-off

Good luck.
