Preview
Brighton come into this after a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa away from home last time out in the Premier League.
Watkins and Mings’ goals in the last 5 minutes of the clash ensured another defeat for Brighton as Gerrard picked up a first win as Villa boss.
After three successive draws and a loss, Brighton has slipped in the EPL table and are sitting on 9th place with 17 points.
It is trouble times with their last win coming way back in September during the EFL Cup vs Swansea.
Hence, the turnaround needs to begin quick before they drop out of the top half.
On the other hand, Leeds lost 2-1 away to Tottenham as their horror season continued.
James gave Leeds the lead a minute before HT but 2 goals in the second half from Højbjerg and Reguilon inflicted another defeat on the Peacocks.
With 11 points from 12 matches, Leeds is 17th in the table with just 1 win from their last 6 matches across competitions.
Bielsa’s side are under the cosh due to their poor form and are desperate for points.
Another loss tonight could see them drop into the dreaded relegation zone, which puts pressure on Bielsa’s job as well.
Both sides last met in the EPL last season in May, where Brighton won 2-0 at home.

Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Leeds
It’s a battle between two inconsistent sides in the Premier League with plenty to play for.
However, we expect Brighton to use home advantage and put an under-confident Leeds unit away. We expect the Seagulls to nick this clash.
Players to watch out for: Trossard, Lallana, James and Raphinha.
