Leeds United make the long trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with both sides looking to maintain their unbeaten starts to the season.
Both sides currently occupy European places in the Premier League table having taken seven points from their first three games. The Whites will travel to Sussex full of confidence on the back of their 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea at Elland Road last weekend.
Brighton will provide a tough test - the Seagulls have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League fixtures, and that was a defeat to Manchester City. They have beaten Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United (twice) in that period.

Brighton's injury list
Graham Potter will be without a couple of his players for Saturday's clash, with Poland international Jakub Moder expected to be out until early 2023 with a knee injury. 20-year-old Jeremy Sarmiento is also expected to be ruled out through injury.
Neal Maupay will obviously not be playing, after he completed his move to Everton on Friday evening. Maupay, who has scored four goals in seven games against Leeds, was left out of Brighton's squad for their games against Newcastle United and Forest Green Rovers.
Predicted XI
Potter made 11 changes for Brighton's Carabao Cup tie at Forest Green, with the likes of Tariq Lamptey and Levi Colwill impressing in the 3-0 win. However, after such an impressive start to the campaign, Potter will return to the team that has served him well in the Premier League.
Brighton have named the same starting XI in every league game so far this season, and there's no reason as to why that'll change against the Whites.
Spanish international Robert Sanchez will start in goal, with a back three in front of him made up of Joel Veltman, captain Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster. At right wing-back, Solly March is currently keeping the highly-rated Lamptey out of the team, while Leandro Trossard has been playing on the left, although Brighton have now signed a specialist in that position in the form of Europa League winner Pervis Estupinan.
Moises Caicedo is the most defensive-minded of the midfield players. Alexis Mac Allister, Pascal Gross and former England international Adam Lallana have started every game this season, but they have rotated their roles this season. One of them will play deeper alongside Caicedo, with two of them pushing up to support Danny Welbeck as the lone striker.
Predicted Brighton XI (3-4-1-2): Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Trossard; Lallana, Gross; Welbeck.
