Leeds United will be looking to stretch their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they travel to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Whites followed up an opening-day 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest with a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford.

Not since 2019-20 have Leeds won their first two away games in a league season at any level, which they will be aiming to put right at The Amex.

That will not be easy, however, as Brighton tore apart Aston Villa in a 4-0 win in their previous home match.

But the Seagulls did go down 4-3 to Chelsea in an entertaining game last time out, with that game coming hot on the heels of a European qualifier.

Ahead of the clash on the South Coast, MOT Leeds rounds up the latest team news and where you can watch the match.

Brighton vs Leeds TV channel and kick-off time

Leeds' first away game of the season kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday and that is also the case for this one.

The game will be live on Peacock in the United States, DAZN in Spain and Portugal, Canal+ in France, Poland Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Premier Sports in Republic of Ireland.

Fabian Hurzeler and Daniel Farke team news updates

Daniel Farke confirmed at his press conference on Thursday that Leeds defender Joe Rodon is facing at least two months out injured.

That is of course a blow, but the German otherwise has near enough a fully-fit squad to choose upon.

Ilia Gruev is likely to be the only other first-team absentee, though the Bulgaria international is back in training.

As for Brighton, Fabian Hurzeler confirmed on Friday that Mats Wieffer is his side's latest injury absentee.

The full-back will be out until after next month's international break and joins Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood on the sidelines.

Former Leeds player Georginio Wijnaldum sustained an injury last weekend and will undergo a fitness test.

How will Brighton and Leeds line up at Amex Stadium?

Farke has new signings Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Melvin Bard to call upon should he wish, though that is not likely to happen from the start.

Harry Wilson, who joined much earlier in the summer, is pushing for a return to the side up top alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Noah Okafor was the subject of late transfer interest but remains a Leeds player and may start on the South Coast.

As already outlined, Brighton have plenty of injury problems to contend with this weekend.

Hurzeler still has a pretty talented group available to him, however, with Rutter potentially getting the nod up top if he is deemed fit enough.

Leeds predicted XI: Trafford; Elvedi, Bijol, Muharemovic; Bogle, Stach, Ampadu, Justin; Wilson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor.

Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen; Costinha, Vuskovic, Dunk, Kadioglu; Ayari, Yalcouye; Gomez, Gross, De Cuyper; Rutter.
