Leeds United news amid pundit tip and key talking points ahead of Brighton trip

Here are your Leeds United morning headlines for Saturday, August 27 .

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton predicts Leeds draw against Brighton

Chris Sutton believes Leeds United and Brighton will play out a 1-1 draw when they face off against each other at the Amex this afternoon.

Both sides have started the season in good form having picked up seven points each from their opening three fixtures.

And writing ahead of the weekends action in his Premier League predictions column, Sutton reckons Leeds have enough to come away with a point from the south coast.

"Leeds have really surprised me, in a good way," wrote Sutton.

"Their fans are quick in letting me know I haven't predicted a win for them, yet! Their new signings have bedded in - Brenden Aaronson is getting a lot of attention, while midfielders Marc Roca and Tyler Adams have shown they are decent pieces of business as well.

"These sides drew both fixtures last season and Brighton do not concede many, but I fancy them to score. However, I also think Leeds will score as well, so we will go for 1-1."

Leeds United visit Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex in the Premier League later today.

The Whites have started the season in excellent form, winning three of their opening four fixtures in all competitions. Their last Premier League outing saw them best Chelsea 3-0 in what turned out to be a dominant win for Leeds over Thomas Tuchel's side.

Today's opponents Brighton have also started their season well. Like Leeds, they have won two and drawn one from their first three Premier League games.

It should be an exciting contest between two sides on the up.

Here are five things to look out for when the Whites face off against Brighton this afternoon.

Leeds United unveil 2022/23 third kit ahead of Brighton debut

Leeds United unveiled a black third kit for the 2022/23 Premier League season yesterday which will be worn against Brighton this afternoon.

The kit, manufactured by Adidas, is 'jersey featuring a black and carbon stripe with a flash of crew orange for the adidas three stripes across the shoulders.'

It's a stark difference from last season's lilac strip, with the badge placed in the centre of the top and the collar a ribbed round neck. Supporters will be able to purchase the new strip in late September, with the club set to confirm an official date in due course.
