Team news

Brighton

Graham Potter could name the same starting 11 that beat West Ham last weekend, with Jeremy Sarmiento and Jakub Moder the only absentees and Danny Welbeck likely to be preferred over new signing Deniz Undav.

Leeds
Jesse Marsch remains without Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas, while Rodrigo is set to lead the line again as Patrick Bamford’s recovery continues, although he could return to the bench.

Match preview

Two teams with identical records face off at the Amex on Saturday but the Seagulls look the most likely to stay on their current course come full-time.

Graham Potter’s side got their season off to a flyer at Old Trafford this month and have not looked back since, picking up a draw with in-form Newcastle before beating West Ham and EFL Cup opponents Forest Green Rovers. They have conceded just one goal - Alexis Mac Allister’s own-goal in the opener - in all competitions and head into Saturday’s clash unbeaten in nine.

Leeds and Jesse Marsch were written off by many but have proved the doubters wrong with some thrilling football, the highlight undoubtedly being a shock 3-0 triumph over Chelsea last weekend.

However, they are winless in their last four meetings with Brighton and have outperformed their expected goals by 1.9 this term. They capitulated at Southampton, throwing away a two-goal lead, and could struggle to deal with the in-form hosts.

Key stat

Brighton have won six of their last nine Premier League games, losing none.
