Leeds United supporters give Joe Gelhardt approval as they react to Brighton team news

Leeds United are preparing to take on Brighton in the Premier League this afternoon, as their home campaign for the 2021/22 season draws to a close. Requiring a much-needed three points against the Seagulls, Jesse Marsch has made three changes to the team that started in the Whites 3-0 loss against Chelsea in mid-week.

Junior Firpo, Mateusz Klich and Joe Gelhardt all come into the side, with Dan James, Pascal Struijk and Lewis Bate all dropping out. With just two games remaining, United are looking to climb out of the relegation places this afternoon, against a Brighton side that still could finish as high as eighth this season.

Patrick Bamford has since returned to training but does not make the match-day squad, as youngsters Sam Greenwood and Nohan Kenneh will potentially bid to make an impact in his absence.
