MATCH FACTS
Team News


Brighton head coach Graham Potter is optimistic Enock Mwepu will be available, with the midfielder back in training after a muscle problem.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has completed a one-game ban but Steven Alzate and Danny Welbeck remain sidelined.

Leeds' top scorer Raphinha is fit after recovering from illness, while forward Rodrigo is back in contention following a minor foot problem.

Jamie Shackleton also returns after missing two games with a muscle issue.

This match comes too soon for Luke Ayling, who is instead expected to play for the under-23s on Monday, while Patrick Bamford and Robin Koch continue to recover from long-term injuries.

Sorry for the all over the place nature of the thread but I did it on a phone in a hospital bed. Hopefully practical normality will be resumed next week.

Can't make tonight, weather says it's going to do this all day. Chance of abandonment?

Best wishes Dick, hope you are Ok.

To the game. We may be 9th in the table but we are a “false No. 9”, I think .....after 5 draws and 2 defeats in our last 7 games we have not shown top ten form . This has to stop and we need a win... Today!
So let’s send these Lilywhite footballers crying in their beer all the way back up the A1.
Brighton Forever! :albion2:

I am okay. I put the Villa match on last week and the next thing I knew I was waking up in hospital! An infection that spread from my legs. Anyway, I should be out today, hopefully before 5:30pm. Cheers, everybody and UTA!
