Leeds United come into this with a strong recent league run, taking 11 points from their last five and scoring in every one of those matches. Brighton & Hove Albion have also been productive, with four wins from their last five league games, although the 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United shows they can be opened up away from home.

With Leeds United at Elland Road and both sides arriving in decent form, this looks like a tight game rather than a one-sided one. Leeds United’s recent results suggest they can compete well in matches that stay close, while Brighton & Hove Albion have been strong enough to threaten throughout. The head-to-head record also points to competitive meetings, so a narrow home win fits the data best.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Leeds United (3-5-2)

Predicted lineup: Karl Darlow (Goalkeeper), Jaka Bijol (Defender), Joe Rodon (Defender), Pascal Struijk (Defender), Anton Stach (Midfielder), Ao Tanaka (Midfielder), Daniel James (Midfielder), Ethan Ampadu (Midfielder), James Justin (Midfielder), Brenden Aaronson (Attacker), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Attacker)

Leeds United’s predicted 3-5-2 gives them a solid base at the back while still allowing Brenden Aaronson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to work together up front. The midfield five should help them stay compact and give Anton Stach and Ao Tanaka the platform to support both phases of play.

Brighton & Hove Albion (4-2-3-1)

Predicted lineup: Bart Verbruggen (Goalkeeper), Ferdi Kadıoğlu (Defender), Jan Paul van Hecke (Defender), Lewis Dunk (Defender), Maxim De Cuyper (Defender), Carlos Baleba (Midfielder), Jack Hinshelwood (Midfielder), Kaoru Mitoma (Midfielder), Pascal Groß (Midfielder), Yankuba Minteh (Midfielder), Danny Welbeck (Attacker)

Brighton & Hove Albion’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them balance, with Carlos Baleba and Jack Hinshelwood screening the defence and allowing the attacking midfielders to push on. Danny Welbeck can lead the line with support from Kaoru Mitoma, Pascal Groß and Yankuba Minteh between the lines.
