Four changes have been made to the Leeds United side which crashed out of the Premier League Cup on Monday. Andrew Taylor has drafted in Kristoffer Klaesson, Charlie Cresswell, Nohan Kenneh and Stuart McKinstry for the Premier League 2 visit to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Taylor’s side are currently 11th of 14 teams in Division One, the top flight of under-23 football in the country. The bottom two are relegated to Division Two and United are just four points above the drop zone.
There are three matches left to play this season and backs are very much against the wall to ensure the Whites get themselves out of trouble. Brighton are ninth in the table and four points ahead of Leeds and when they met for the first time this season, on October 22, United drew 1-1 at York Community Stadium with Joe Snowdon scoring the hosts' only goal.

It had been hoped the likes of Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Joe Gelhardt may get appearances in East Sussex given the gap between first-team games, but they have not travelled.
Leeds: Klaesson; Sutcliffe, Cresswell, Hjelde, McCarron; Kenneh, Jenkins; Miller, Bate, McKinstry; Joseph. Subs: van den Heuvel, Dean, McGurk, Allen, Mullen.
