Leeds v Brighton


Sky Bet Championship

Venue: Elland Road
Date: Saturday 18th March 2017
Kick-off: 17:30 GMT

Leeds will be without suspended midfielder Kalvin Phillips and right-back Luke Ayling for Brighton's visit.

Charlie Taylor is expected to return at left-back while Lewie Coyle and Tyler Denton are both injured.

Brighton captain Bruno is fit after he had limped off against Derby with a groin injury.

But the Seagulls are still without fellow defenders Shane Duffy (ankle), Sebastien Pocognoli (groin) and Gaetan Bong (knee).

Norway centre-back Vegard Forren, who joined last week, will play for the under-23s before coming into contention.

Ayling's yellow against us could be helpful factor as the one of 10 that leads to his suspension. He has been ever present in League side since signing from Bristol City. Taylor's back but not played LB for a while. AK must fancy it....

Haven't we got a tit of a Prem league ref today? Six sending offs, Newcastle whine, were loose.
