Leeds United will host Brighton & Hove Albion at Elland Road on Saturday in another round of the English Premier League campaign.
The home side have endured a rather torrid campaign and have now appointed former Watford boss Javi Garcia to save their season. They were beaten 1-0 by struggling Chelsea in their last league game, falling behind early after the restart and failing to find their way back into the game.
Brighton, meanwhile, are flying under manager Roberto De Zerbi and are now making an audacious push for European football. They thrashed West Ham United 4-0 in their last game, with four different players getting on the scoresheet in a highly clinical performance.
The visitors have picked up 38 points from 23 games this season and now find themselves eighth in the Premier League standings. They will look to continue their good run of results when they take on the Whites this weekend.
