1st May at 3pm the mighty whites travel to the Amex Stadium to take on BHA. With that horrific April fixture list behind us we head down south unbeaten in six games and sitting 9th in the table.
Life is good
Saturday's fixture will be the 47th game between these two sides Brighton won 17 Leeds won 18 and there have been 11 draws down through the years.
This will be only the second premier league game where the home side took the 3 points at ER back in January following a Neal Maupay goal
6 other top flight games have been played since the first one on 13th October 1979 0-0 draw and the record books show Brighton with 2 wins Leeds 2 wins and 2 Draws, so nothing much between us.

Looking into my crystal ball i forsee overcast conditions for Saturday temp of 11.32453245632452523 deg C
wind 17.5667452352453434 mph
Southerly brezze with possible gusts of 23.5674563452523525mph
between the hours of 15:00 and 17:00 we are looking at 3.000000234563453245mm of rain fall so have a brolly close at hand
1010.1010101010101010101010101010mb pressure - very strange to have such a binary reading but next Saturday afternoon is going to be different in so many ways
No doubt Ben White will be mentioned a few times by the commentators and the part he played in getting leeds promoted, but brighton's points tally from the month of April is just 2 from a possible 12 albeit they took a point from Chelsea and Everton their loss to Manure and most recently against the blunts have them hovering in 17th spot (7 points ahead of Fulham and with a 12 goal superior difference its almost worth an extra point at this stage in the season). Potter will have them primed up after his claim about not selling any of his players to another relegation threatened side.
NEWSFLASH TO THE SEAGULLS
LEEDS ARE SAFE AND CANT BE RELEGATED
Knowing the Bucket God we will more than likely go with the same starting xi but hopefully rapha will be back and fingers crossed poveda gets the nod over Costa but i cant see that happening
they will be fighting hard for anything they can get and if they even pick up a point that wont be a disaster from them, but neck on the block im going for
3-0 leeds if Rapha plays
if not
1 nil with header from paddy off a 53 min corner
2 yellow cards each
What do ye think of my new tie??????
MOT
I think putting the young lads in now is far better for them with no baying crowd. Nerves would be far greater in front of a full stadium.
