Brighton host Leeds United at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Despite their strong start to the season, Brighton have faltered of late. Graham Potter's side have been winless in their last eight games across all competitions and are currently ninth in the league. They will look to turn things around with a win against Leeds.
Leeds United, on the other hand, have been woeful this season. Marcelo Bielsa's side have only managed to win three games across all competitions this season, and are currently 17th in the league, two points off the relegation zone.
They will hope to kickstart their season with a win against Brighton on Saturday.
Both sides need a win for different reasons, and that should make for a well-contested matchup.

Brighton vs Leeds United Prediction
With both sides not being in the best of form, it's hard to choose a winner for the game on Saturday.
Brighton will welcome back Robert Sanchez from suspension, while Enock Mwepu may also find a place on the bench. Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck and Steven Alzate are both still out injured.
Leeds United will be boosted by the return of Rodrigo, Raphinha and Jamie Shackleton, while Luke Ayling is not yet fit enough to return to action. However, Patrick Bamford and Robin Koch are still unavailable due to injury.
We predict a draw, with both sides getting on the scoresheet.
Prediction: Brighton 1-1 Leeds United
