Brighton and Hove Albion and Leeds United will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match at the American Express Community Stadium is slated to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday and promises to be an exciting game of football.
Brighton and Hove Albion
Although there have been some positive signs of late, Brighton and Hove Albion are still in danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season. The Seagulls are 17th in the Premier League table at the moment with 34 points from 33 matches, seven points above the relegation zone.
Brighton will head into the match against Leeds on the back of a shock 1-0 defeat to already-relegated Sheffield United away from home in the Premier League. It followed a goalless draw with Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the league.
Team News:
Danny Welbeck and Neal Maupay are likely to lead the line again for Brighton.
Leeds United
Leeds United are having a wonderful season and are safe from relegation. Promoted from the Championship at the end of last season, Marcelo Bielsa’s side could actually finish in the Premier League top 10 this campaign. The Whites are ninth in the Premier League table at the moment with 47 points from 33 matches.
The West Yorkshire club will head into the match against Brighton on the back of a goalless draw with Manchester United at Elland Road in the Premier League. It followed a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at home in the league.
