Albion Aims for Redemption as Whites Seek Away Success
Brighton & Hove Albion host Leeds United at the American Express Stadium on September 5th, with both teams looking to bounce back from disappointing results in gameweek two of the Premier League.
The Seagulls were thrashed 4-3 by Chelsea last time out, despite dominating possession and scoring three goals in a remarkable comeback. Brighton had previously won their opening two matches, defeating Aston Villa 4-0 and Tromsø 4-0 to book their spot in the UEFA Conference League's league phase.
Leeds United also struggled in gameweek two, drawing 1-1 with Brentford at Elland Road after falling behind early. The Whites had previously won both of their opening matches, defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and 2-0 in the Premier League and Carabao Cup respectively.
Brighton have home advantage on Saturday, but Fabian Hurzeler's men are dealing with a lengthy injury list that could impact their chances. A win for Leeds would see them record victories in both of their away games this season, a feat they last achieved in the 21st century.
