Daniel Farke has confirmed Leeds United’s line-up at Brighton this afternoon, with Gabriel Gudmundsson back from injury for his first appearance of the season, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk.

Leeds travel aiming to halt a 10-game winless run at the Amex. They lost 3-0 there last season, but arrive improved after a 1-1 comeback against Brentford and two away wins in all competitions, both at Nottingham Forest.

James Trafford starts for the fourth match running. The back three features James Justin on the right in place of Joe Rodon, Nico Elvedi chosen ahead of Jaka Bijol in the middle, and Tarik Muharemovic retained.

Jayden Bogle provides width from right wing-back, while Gudmundsson resumes on the left. Ethan Ampadu captains the side, with Anton Stach and Ao Tanaka in midfield.

Noah Okafor partners Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front, with the shape looking like 3-5-2. Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya are named on the bench and could debut, while new goalkeeper Michael Zetterer is also among the substitutes.
