Brighton XI vs Leeds – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Brighton travel to face Leeds United on Sunday afternoon, aiming to keep their European hopes alive.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side have peaked at the perfect moment during the final weeks of the campaign. Since March, no top-flight club has secured more league victories than the Seagulls. They have collected twenty-two points from a possible thirty over their last ten outings.

Victory at Elland Road could move them closer to overtaking Bournemouth in sixth place. That said, the visitors must improve their away form after a recent loss at Newcastle.

In attack, Danny Welbeck will lead the line with support from Yankuba Minteh. Jack Hinshelwood will start in midfield, aiming to score in his fourth consecutive match.
