Leeds United are set for another crucial test in their bid for Premier League survival, as they prepare to take on Brighton at Elland Road.
Jesse March's side slumped to a disappointing 3-0 home defeat against Chelsea in midweek, with forward Dan James dismissed for a late challenge on Mateo Kovacic. James, much like Luke Ayling, will now miss the remainder of the 21/22 campaign, with United now desperate to claim all three points in their penultimate game of the campaign.
Much has been made of Leeds poor run of late, with criticism cast the way of American head coach Marsch who has now lost three consecutive fixtures by the score of 9-1. Admittedly, all three of the team's last opponents do occupy position's within the Premier League's top four, but with Brighton and Brentford still to come, the Whites will be hoping to pick up six crucial points to fight off any lingering relegation woes.

Kenneh involved in do or die test
As previously reported by LeedsLive, teenager Nohan Kenneh is set to be involved in Leeds match-day squad, with injuries and suspensions once again ravishing through the side.
An underlying throughout United's disappointing season, key figure Kalvin Phillips has just returned to the starting XI in recent weeks, with fellow academy graduates Lewis Bate and Charlie Cresswell also given their own chances.
But with Kenneh having yet to feature in the Premier League, the 19-year-old could perhaps be called upon, in what is set to be one of the sides biggest tests of the season so far.
Bamford returns
Whites fans will also be buoyed by the news striker Patrick Bamford could be set to return following his latest injury setback.
The 28-year-old limped off in the early stages of United's dramatic 3-2 win at Wolves back in March and looks in line to provide a welcome boost when it most needed.
Having missed large chunks of the 21/22 season, Bamford has mustered just seven starts in the Premier League, finding the net on a mere two occasions.
