Leeds United visit Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium this afternoon, aiming to extend an unbeaten start to the season.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke's side beat Nottingham Forest in their Premier League and Carabao Cup openers, before a 1-1 home draw with Brentford.

Leeds have four points and sit eighth, with Brighton one place behind after a 4-0 win over Aston Villa and a 4-3 defeat at Chelsea.

Joe Rodon is out with a hamstring injury sustained against Brentford. Gabriel Gudmundsson could start after making the squad last week, and Ilia Gruev is fit.

Deadline-day additions Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya could be involved, as could goalkeeper Michael Zetterer after missing registration for Brentford. All seven signings are fit and could make the 20-man squad.

Brighton have injury concerns, with former Elland Road favourite Georginio Rutter missing the Chelsea defeat. Jack Hinshelwood was also absent, while Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma have yet to feature. Pascal Struijk has not played a Premier League minute since his £18million Leeds exit, behind Lewis Dunk and Luka Vuskovic.

Kick-off is Saturday three pm, so there is no live UK broadcast because of the traditional blackout.
