Brighton have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their clash with Leeds.

The Seagulls are expected to travel with the same squad, but are still without Jeremy Sarmiento who misses out with injury.

Skipper Liam Cooper (Achilles) is in contention for his first Premier League appearance of the season after playing the first 45 minutes against Barnsley.

Full-backs Junior Firpo and Luke Ayling (both knee) hope to return to full training next week and midfielder Stuart Dallas is working his way back from a fractured femur.
