Leeds United will be aiming to get back to winning ways and record a fourth win in six Premier League games on Saturday, when they host Brighton and Hove Albion. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have suffered consecutive disappointments recently, being hammered by Tottenham in the league last time out before suffering an FA Cup upset against Crawley.

Although the manager has backed his stand-in goalkeeper, Kiko Casilla, he’ll be reverting to a full-strength line-up for this game which could see Leeds jump into the top half of the table if they win and results go their way elsewhere.

Brighton are having a very tough time of matters this season, sitting just one place and a couple of points above the relegation zone - having played more games than both Fulham and West Brom below them, as well as Burnley and Newcastle immediately above them.
