Easing lingering relegation worries is on the agenda for Brighton boss Graham Potter, as his side looks to return to winning ways at home against Leeds United.

The Seagulls remain in 17th, one place above the drop zone, but they do have the safety of a seven-point buffer down to Fulham, with just five matches left to play.

A victory here, combined with Chelsea beating the Cottagers in the west London derby later on Saturday, would put Brighton within a single win of mathematically confirming their status as a Premier League club for another season.

Leeds are on their best run of the season though, unbeaten in six and having won three of the last five. That exceptional recent form includes beating Man City, securing a late point against Liverpool and then holding Man United to a scoreless draw, too.

Marcelo Bielsa will be keen to ensure they finish the season strongly and in the top half, with the Elland Road club ninth at present.

Follow our live coverage of Brighton against Leeds below, along with the best of the rest of the Premier League action on Saturday.
