Leeds United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League this afternoon when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion away from home.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side will head into the game against Brighton away from home on the back of a goalless draw with Manchester United at Elland Road in the league.

It followed a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at home in the league and a 2-1 victory over Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.

The Whites are ninth in the Premier League table at the moment with 47 points from 33 matches.

Leeds are doing extremely well in the Premier League, having clinched automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season.

The West Yorkshire club can certainly finish in the top half of the table, and a win against relegation-threatened Brighton this afternoon will be massive in that quest.

Brighton play good football, but the Seagulls are in danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season and Leeds will be favourites to win today.
