Brighton have a very depleted squad according to the Guardian they have Tariq Lamptey, ( 11) Aaron Connolly,(10) Danny Welbeck,(9),Adam Lallana(14), and Alireza Jahanbakhsh(15) all missing. appearances in brackets
Three strikers out. All we will need to do is keep Maupay ( 18) shackled.
Great. Brighton are a good side so those players being out will certainly weaken them. This is a game that if we win will really put us in a great position, lose it and we’re looking over our shoulder a bit.
I can only see the Crawley game being a catalyst for a good performance tomorrow, this is a game I looked forward to when the fixtures came out with the White situation. Let’s hope we make him wish he was at Leeds a bit more tomorrow

I wonder if Llorente will start alongside Cooper or if he'll be eased back with Ayling retaining his centre-back role.
I think it will be Llorente and Cooper. Sounds like they've both been training for the past 2 weeks so they've had enough time. Ayling back to RB and Dallas to LB. There's always a possibility of Dallas in midfield, but everything we've heard suggests Strujik.
Whatever the lineup, Brighton have a few problems. We really should be able to handle this one.

That sounds likely. I like Struijk but I wouldn't mind seeing Dallas in the midfield with Alioski at left back - with the two of them switching around a bit.

Hopefully we can get back to winning ways today. This isn't quite a must win game but I'd say it's a should win if we play to our potential certainly can't be any worse than the performance in the cup match , be slightly strange watching a match live on tv at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon but these are strange times we're in

I think Brighton will play into our hands today. For the first time in a few years Leeds are in my accum. I tried not to but at even money it seems a bargain.
The only dampner is we can't watch gillette soccer saturday at the same time, but sure thats where phone apps come in handy

Considering the state of our back line this past month or so, I think we've had a really good return on points and put in some great league performances. Really looking forward to seeing Ayling and Dallas back where they belong and no doubt Luke in particular will be particularly switched on defensively having acclimatised to CB.
I agree with you about Brighton. Even if they had more players available, I'd still say it's a game we should be winning because for all their good performances at times, they're 2 points above the drop for a reason.
If the lads have got their shooting boots on today then hopefully we will be fine for this one. Citeh only scored one goal against them although Brighton only had one shot on target all game.
The pitch, the pitch your kingdom for a better pitch.
