Latest Brighton vs Leeds team information
Brighton trio Solly March, Adam Webster (knee) and Jack Hinshelwood (ankle) remain sidelined. Kaoru Mitoma (ankle), Joel Veltman (calf) and Brajan Gruda (knee) will be assessed further before kick-off.
James Milner – who made his Premier League debut for Leeds in November 2002 – remains a doubt for his former club after missing the midweek defeat to Arsenal with a minor muscle injury. So the out-of-form Carlos Baleba could continue to start in midfield, alongside one or both Yasin Ayari and Diego Gomez.
Former Leeds striker Georginio Rutter is likely to continue in the attacking role behind striker Danny Welbeck, who has scored five goals in his last four Premier League games. 18-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas is also available despite coming off at half-time against Arsenal.
As for Leeds, manager Daniel Farke can welcome back a near-full squad, with both Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson returning to training this week. However, Gnonto is still not ready to start after hernia surgery.
Gudmundsson – who suffered only a minor knock in the win over West Ham – is expected to be fit to start at left-back, joining Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Jayden Bogle in a back four, behind goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
New signing Anton Stach hopes to return to the starting line-up, but Farke is likely to continue to rely on the midfield trio of Sean Longstaff, Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka. On the right wing, Daniel James will compete with Brendan Aaronson for a starting spot.

Latest Brighton vs Leeds football review
After going on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, picking up eight points from four of those Premier League games, Brighton have suffered two consecutive defeats in just five days against Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Seagulls lost 4-2 at Old Trafford last weekend, then went down 2-0 to an Arsenal side fielding reserves in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, having had 17 shots in 90 minutes but failing to score.
After the match, Hurzeler admitted he had a “strange feeling” that Brighton could not advance to the quarter-finals, and regretted that his players missed too many opportunities in the “make-or-break match” with Arsenal. He pledged to provide “the right support” to help the players improve their performance.
Sitting 13th in the Premier League and five points off the top four, Brighton’s defensive weaknesses have long been apparent. They have conceded in 20 of their last 21 Premier League games and have kept clean sheets in just 17% of their games under Hurzeler (8/47) – the lowest ratio of any of the four managers who have managed the club in the Premier League.
Brighton, however, can be hopeful going into Saturday’s game against Leeds, having kept a clean sheet in each of their last seven home games against them – the longest run in the club’s history against any opponent. Leeds, meanwhile, have never gone eight consecutive away games without scoring against a team (the longest run was seven against Liverpool between March 1980 and August 1993).
Leeds ended a three-game winless run in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over struggling West Ham United at Elland Road a week and a half ago – their third win since winning promotion as Championship champions.
Sitting 15th in the table, six points above the relegation zone, Leeds are aiming for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since November 2022. Their last six wins in the competition have been followed by one draw and five defeats – a testament to the team’s lack of consistency.
In October, Daniel Farke's side had 26 more shots than their opponents (48 to 22), ranking third in terms of attacking efficiency behind Arsenal and Manchester City (both +27). However, Leeds still conceded five goals and scored just three, while their opponents converted 23% of their shots to goals, compared to just 6%.
A challenging trip to Brighton awaits Leeds – who have failed to win in their last nine Premier League visits to the Seagulls (D3 L6), since a 3-0 win in November 2009 when they were still playing in League One under Simon Grayson.
Leeds have played more games at the Amex Stadium than any other ground in their history without winning (9). Remarkably, in the last seven times they have failed to score at the Amex Stadium, 30 different Leeds players have had shots on goal, including three current players – Jack Harrison (4), Pascal Struijk and Daniel James (2 each).
