Brighton and Hove Albion host Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, with both sides woefully out of form and desperately seeking points to turn around their fortunes.
Graham Potter’s side are without a victory in seven league games and have dropped to ninth after a fine start to the campaign, while Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds have struggled throughout the season so far, sitting 17th just two points above the relegation zone. They have won only twice this term, and not at all in the last five. Goalscoring has been an issue for them with Patrick Bamford absent for much of the campaign, while for the Seagulls, it’s just four goals in the last six games including three blanks.
Both sides will hope this can be the weekend to turn matters in a more positive direction and move back up the table.

Brighton right-back and player of the match today, Tariq Lamptey spoke to Sky Sports following the game and outlined Brighton’s frustration at not getting the win. He said:
We would have liked to have won the game today but we played a quality side. We pushed and pushed but it wasn’t to be.
“We tried our hardest and we gave it our all, on another day they’d go in. We’ve just got to keep training hard now.
“My team-mates have been great whilst I’ve been out so I worked as hard as I could to create some chances and do my bit for them today.
“We’re playing against quality teams every week, it’s not easy to put the ball in the back of the net, so we just have to keep pushing.
“We go into every game looking to get the three points, the goal didn’t come but we look to the next game now.”

Bright had 20 chances over the course of the 90 minutes with only four on target. Their expected goals rating of 1.8xg was the highest of the season without them converting a chance.january.
It’s a familiar, frustrating story for Graham Potter who must be thinking of bringing in a top quality finisher in January.

90+3 mins: It all ends goalless. That seemed to be the way things were going since the restart of the second half. Brighton will feel as though they’ve dropped two points. They dominated the first half in particular. Leeds will be happy to come away with a point. They were far from their best and didn’t really kick into gear going forward.

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play. Can someone, anyone, find a winning goal at the Amex Stadium?

88 mins: Save! It’s just not Brighton’s day! Joel Veltman makes a good run down the right side and picks out Solly March with a nice inside pass. March brings the ball into a central position before scuffing a shot at goal. Illan Meslier dives across to his left and palms the ball onto the inside of the post but instead of bouncing over the line the ball comes back into play, hits the goalkeeper and allows Meslier to scoop it up.

86 mins: The game’s getting a little tense now. Neither team wants to lose but both think they can win it. Leeds enjoyed a decent five minute period now it’s Brighton’s turn. They look for a way into the box from the left but Shackleton manages to drive them back.
