Brighton & Hove Albion host Leeds United on Saturday in a match defined by a remarkable historical record.
The Seagulls have never lost a Premier League match to Leeds. Furthermore, they have kept a clean sheet in their last seven consecutive home league games against them. This record makes the Amex Stadium a true bogey ground for the visitors. However, Leeds arrive with fresh confidence, seeking to build on last weekend’s vital win over West Ham.

Team News
Brighton
Manager Fabian Hürzeler has confirmed Brighton have no new injury concerns following their midweek game, though they remain without long-term absentees Solly March, Adam Webster, and Jack Hinshelwood. However, there was positive news regarding Kaoru Mitoma, who is back on the training pitch, and Hürzeler hopes to have him available before the next international break. Additionally, the manager noted that Tom Watson is “definitely an option to start,” praising his speed and strength in one-on-one duels.
Leeds United
Daniel Farke, in contrast, has received some very positive news. He confirmed he has a fully fit squad to choose from. This includes left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, who has recovered from the dead leg he suffered against West Ham.
Winger Willy Gnonto is also back in full training after a long absence. Farke stated that Gnonto is not yet a “topic for the starting line-up.” However, he is in contention to travel with the squad. Finally, goalkeeper Lucas Perri is also fit again, providing competition for the starting spot.
Form
Brighton
Brighton’s league form remains mixed. They do, however, remain unbeaten in their last four at the Amex. Their defensive record under Hürzeler remains a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last 21 league games. Furthermore, they were also eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Arsenal in midweek.
Leeds United
Leeds currently sit 15th in the table, just one point behind Brighton. They ended a two-game losing streak last weekend with a crucial 2-1 win over West Ham. Consequently, the team now aims for back-to-back Premier League victories. This is something they have not achieved since November 2022. However, their away form remains a major concern. In fact, Leeds have kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 top-flight road games.
Predicted Lineups
Possible Brighton XI: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Dunk, van Hecke, De Cuyper; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Kadıoğlu; Welbeck
Possible Leeds United XI: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Tanaka, Longstaff; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
