Fabian Hurzeler hails seven Leeds players before Brighton clash | OneFootball

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler highlighted seven Leeds United players and warned his side face a stern examination at the Amex on Saturday.

As reported by yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, he said unbeaten Leeds are intense and aggressive with a clear style, attack the box with numbers and show strong teamwork, making them hard to beat.

Now in his third season in charge, the 33-year-old has led Brighton to consecutive eighth-placed finishes. They opened this campaign by beating Aston Villa 4-0, followed by a 4-0 win over Tromso in the Europa Conference League, then a 4-3 defeat at Chelsea.

Leeds are in their second season back in the top flight, while Brighton are in their 10th straight Premier League campaign after promotion as Championship runners-up in 2017. Hurzeler added that Daniel Farke is doing a brilliant job and that Leeds are rich in quality.

He named Ethan Ampadu as a key figure and also referenced Stach, Tanaka, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin, Aaronson and Wilson. Hurzeler called it a big challenge but said Brighton will focus on themselves, and that reproducing the Villa level at home would give them a good chance in this game.
