Leeds – Brighton

Leeds await Brighton at Elland Road with a slim three‑point cushion in the table, sitting 11th on five points after one win and two draws, having scored three and conceded two. Brighton, languishing in 63rd place with four points from a single victory and a draw, sit just behind and boast a flawless defensive record, yet have yet to find the net beyond their opening goal. The two sides have met only once this season, a goalless stalemate that offered little clue to who will seize the advantage this time around. With Leeds needing a win to cement a modest push for the upper half and Brighton desperate to climb out of the relegation zone, the encounter promises a tense battle between Leeds’ modest attacking edge and Brighton’s disciplined, low‑scoring approach.
