Brighton

The Seagulls have started the season in impressive fashion under Graham Potter but their form has tailed off in recent weeks and they are heading into this game on the back of a six-match winless run.

The home side will be desperate to bounce back strongly with a win here and they will fancy their chances against a vulnerable Leeds outfit.

Possible Brighton starting line-up

Robert Sanchez; Tariq Lamptey, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster; Pascal Gross, Adam Lallana, Yves Bissouma, Jakub Moder; Leandro Trossard; Danny Welbeck, Neal Maupay

Leeds

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have been in abysmal form all season and they have picked up just 11 points from 12 league games.

They have a talented squad at their disposal but Leeds have struggled to get going from the start.

Brighton are heading into this game on the back of some poor performances and it will be interesting to see if Leeds can pull off an upset here.

The visitors will have to tighten up defensively if they want to grind out a positive result here.  They’ve conceded 20 goals in 12 league matches.

Possible Leeds starting line-up

Ilan Meslier; Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Junior Firpo; Raphinha, Kalvin Phillips, Stuart Dallas, Jack Harrison; Rodrigo; Patrick Bamford

Prediction

Brighton 1-1 Leeds
