Leeds United told Brighton will be 'happy' Wilfried Gnonto is on bench but Summerville could be key

Matt Kilgallon says Brighton will be relieved to see Wilfried Gnonto on the bench this afternoon, but believes Crysencio Summerville is capable of winning Leeds United the game.

Gnonto has been named amongst the substitutes for the second consecutive game, as Javi Gracia makes two changes from the starting XI that lost 1-0 at Chelsea last time out.

Patrick Bamford returns from a knock at the expense of Georginio Rutter, while Marc Roca is preferred to Weston McKennie. Former Leeds defender Kilgallon believes Brighton would've formulated a game plan to stop Gnonto and is surprised that he has been left out once again.

"No for me he's a massive threat especially at home as well. I think Brighton will see him not in the team and be really happy with that, especially the right-back," Kilgallon told BBC Radio Leeds.

"They probably even worked at doubling up on him. When someone is that much of a threat, you actually go right we've got to stop the ball getting out of here."

Despite Gnonto not featuring from the start, Kilgallon has suggested that Summerville could hold the key to victory.

"I am sure there will be a few happy faces in the Brighton dressing room but Summerville is in," Kilgallon added.

"He can win the game for you. He's got something, he's got the pace. If he's on it, and his final ball is on then he can win you the game."
