MATCH FACTS
◾Leeds have lost their last six league games against Brighton; only against Derby (nine defeats) have they lost more consecutive against a single opponent.
◾Only against Wolves in 1989 (nine) and Brentford in 1926 (nine) have the Seagulls enjoyed a longer winning run than they have against Leeds (six).
◾Chris Wood has scored in a league-high 19 different Championship matches this season, while Brighton striker Glenn Murray is joint-second with 14 (also Tammy Abraham).
◾Leeds United have won 20 Championship games this season - more than their final tally of wins in each of the last six league seasons.
◾Brighton have the oldest average starting XI age in the Championship this season (28y 261d old).
◾Anthony Knockaert has had a hand in nine goals in his last nine Championship appearances for Brighton (three goals, six assists).
Right no messing, I'm going for a 2-0 Leeds Victory with Woody and Sacko grabbing the goals
I know we'll be doing Udders a favour but this time I'm not bothered .......
I live near the coast and I'm fed up of getting shat on by seagulls

Thought we played well, great atmosphere
Couple of things
Thought Bridcutt played well closing down and tackling
But passing wise, he's utter garbage
And the Spanish lad, am not having, not a bad player but no chance he'll be here next season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thing Alf will stay. It was great to see three left sided players adding some balance to the team. He will only get better as he settles.
Agree on Bridcutt - gives the ball away with poor passing.

Alfonso Pedraza completed more TAKE-ONS (5) than any other @SkyBetChamp player this weekend (including Friday).

I only managed to watch this in the early hours of this morning having thankfully not seen the result.
What a great performance and thoroughly deserved win.

I was impressed with Pedraza. He has ability but is still raw for sure. Keeps popping up in good positions.
Cant believe the arguing on here, we just beat the apparent second best side in the league and the team the everybody wants to go up. Happy days

"Now he should start the same line up and not change it except for injuries"
Agreed, except for PJ for Cooper, as Walsall has written.
The playing side can be debated but the enthusiasm and other intangibles PJ brings adds a lot to this team.

I have liked Vieira since he started playing for the first team. Commentators remarked how much he has played this season, noting it's a big ask for an 18 year old, nut he has really stepped up!
Inside word from Elland Road is that he is a very nice lad too!
