Leeds United will be back in action at Elland Road on Saturday, as they look for a vital three points to move away from the bottom three. However, an in-form Brighton will be the visitors this weekend, as the Seagulls look for maximum points, which could see them end the weekend in sixth spot.
Premier League Preview
Leeds United remain just outside of the bottom three places in the Premier League, but that is largely down to the inability of the sides below them to pick up wins than their own performances. The Whites battled well at Stamford Bridge in their previous match, but they offered extremely little in the final third against a Chelsea side that are extremely low on confidence at present.
Leeds sit just a point clear of Everton, but the goal that they conceded against Chelsea was the 40th that they have allowed this term. Only Leicester and Nottingham Forest of the sides outside the bottom three have allowed more so far this term. One thing that does appear in their favour is their ability to score goals, as only the Foxes have netted more of the teams from 12th down in the standings.
Brighton remain on course for their best ever finish in the Premier League this term, and they look extremely well placed to finish in a European spot. The Seagulls could yet earn qualification to a European competition in the FA Cup, as they reached the last eight of the tournament last week. However, a wide-scoring victory could lift them up to sixth in the standings this weekend.
Brighton was excellent in their most recent fixture, as they recorded a comprehensive 4-0 win at home against West Ham United. That scoring threat could be the difference once again this weekend.
Leeds vs Brighton Head to Head
Leeds is without a win in five previous fixtures against Brighton in the Premier League. Brighton has picked up three wins over that period, with two of the last three ending in draws. The previous meeting this term ended in a 1-0 win for the Seagulls at the Amex.
Leeds vs Brighton Prediction
Brighton appears to be a team playing at their very highest level at present, and their strong Premier League record against the Whites looks secure this weekend. We could see the Seagulls running out comfortable winners at Elland Road to pile the misery on the home side.
