Key Factors
Brighton has high motivation, fighting for a top-6 finish and European qualification, while Leeds is safe in 14th.
Leeds faces a defensive crisis with up to seven key players out or doubtful, including captain Ethan Ampadu and Pascal Struijk.
Advanced metrics show Leeds has been significantly overperforming their xG during their 7-game unbeaten run, suggesting a regression to the mean is likely.
Brighton dominates the head-to-head history, being unbeaten in their last 7 Premier League meetings with Leeds.
Injuries & Absentees
Leeds is severely depleted: Noah Okafor, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Ilia Gruev, and Jayden Bogle are definitely out, while Facundo Buonanotte is ineligible. Crucially, the defensive spine is at risk with captain Ethan Ampadu (illness) and Pascal Struijk (hip) rated as major doubts. Brighton is missing Kaoru Mitoma and Adam Webster, but their core system remains intact with Welbeck and Gross available.
