Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United

Brighton welcome Leeds to the Amex on 5 September in a fixture with early bragging rights at stake — the Seagulls sit top of the Premier League after their opening weekend, while promoted Leeds are already punching above expectations in the top half of the table. Brighton could hardly have started faster, thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 at home with Jack Hinshelwood scoring twice inside two first-half minutes. Leeds have been just as efficient, edging past Nottingham Forest 1-0 away thanks to Anton Stach's stunning late free-kick — their first league win at the City Ground since 1971. History favours the hosts, too: Leeds remain winless in seven Premier League meetings with Brighton, including a 3-0 defeat at the Amex last November. Our prediction: 2-1
