Brighton & Hove Albion host Leeds United on Saturday, carrying one of the most dominant home records in the Premier League.
The Seagulls have never lost a top-flight match against Leeds. Furthermore, they have kept a clean sheet in their last seven consecutive home league games against them. Indeed, this is their longest-ever such run against a single opponent.
Fabian Hürzeler’s side will be looking for a strong response in this match. This is because Arsenal knocked them out of the Carabao Cup in midweek. While their league defence was leaky at times, their home form remains strong. In fact, they have lost only one of their last 11 home league games. Consequently, they will be confident of extending that run against a Leeds side that has a poor record on this ground.
Brighton team news
Manager Fabian Hürzeler has confirmed that Brighton have no new injury concerns following their midweek match against Arsenal. Therefore, he expects to have a similar squad available for this weekend’s game. However, the team must still cope without several long-term absentees. Specifically, Solly March, Adam Webster, and Jack Hinshelwood are all confirmed to be ruled out.
There was some positive news regarding Kaoru Mitoma. The winger has returned to training on the pitch. While this match comes too soon, Hürzeler hopes to have him back in contention before the upcoming international break.
Additionally, Tom Watson is pushing for a place in the starting lineup. The manager highlighted Watson’s strengths, noting he is “definitely an option” to start. Hürzeler praised his quality in one-on-one duels and his ability to cover large areas of the pitch with his speed.
