Brighton have lost two games in a row at Manchester United and Arsenal
Leeds are looking to build on Friday’s 2-1 victory over West Ham
Recommended bet: Brighton win and both teams to score
Brighton welcome Leeds to the Amex Stadium on Saturday with the aim of bouncing back from defeats at Manchester United in the Premier League and Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be eyeing a second straight win after beating West Ham and earning three points on the road would see the Whites leapfrog the Seagulls in the table.

Team news
Brighton’s veteran midfielder James Milner picked up a small muscle injury at Old Trafford and is expected to miss the game against his boyhood club.
Joel Veltman and Brajan Gruda have been sidelined with calf and knee problems and are not expected to be back this weekend.
Key playmaker Kaoru Mitoma has not played since September due to an ankle injury while Jack Hinshelwood, Adam Webster and Solly March are long-term absentees.
Leeds defender Gabriel Gudmundsson went off after falling awkwardly against West Ham but is expected to be available while Willy Gnonto will be assessed having returned to training after more than six weeks out due to calf and hernia problems.
The stats
Brighton have never lost in six Premier League meetings with Leeds (winning three and drawing three).
Leeds have not won any of their last nine away trips to Brighton (drawing three and losing six), since a 3-0 victory in League One under Simon Grayson in November 2009.
Brighton have kept a clean sheet in their last seven home league games against Leeds, their longest run without conceding against an opponent in their history.
In their last seven goalless games at Brighton, 30 different Leeds players have attempted a shot without success.
Prediction
Brighton appear to have a hold over Leeds at the Amex Stadium and have already beaten Manchester City and Newcastle at home this season.
Therefore, it is no surprise to see Fabian Hurzeler’s men favourites to get back to winning ways after losing at Manchester United in the Premier League and Arsenal in the League Cup.
Leeds' miserable goalless run at Brighton could be about to end as the Seagulls are yet to record a clean sheet at home in the Premier League this season.
The Whites have found the net in four of their last five matches and can finally break their scoring hoodoo at the Amex Stadium but it might not be enough for them to avoid defeat.
There should be action at both ends on Saturday but it is Brighton who are tipped to take the three points.
